The Ministry of Justice is currently involved in the procurement for a framework titled "Framework for the Provision of Legal Publications - Print and eBook." This tender aims to supply current legal information in both print and electronic formats, serving the MoJ Library and Information Service and other departments for a range of approximately 500 legal publications required primarily for judges, courts, and tribunals across England. The procurement process is in the Award stage, having been published on 9th October 2019, with framework agreements lasting for four years, starting from 1st April 2016 and concluding on 31st March 2020. The estimated total value of this procurement is £30 million GBP, and it follows an open procedure given that it surpasses relevant thresholds.

This procurement presents lucrative opportunities for businesses specialising in legal publications, including both print formats and eBooks. Companies that can produce or supply an extensive catalogue of legal texts, journals, and similar materials suitable for a judicial context would be well-positioned to compete. Given the scale and quantity of the requirements, both small and medium enterprises (SMEs) should consider expressing their interest, particularly in delivering bulk orders and bespoke legal information as needed by the Government and its judiciary across the UK.
