Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice is seeking to enhance its understanding of remote hearing practices during the COVID-19 pandemic through a research evaluation project titled "Covid Remote Hearings Research Evaluation for HMCTS." The procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on research services. Located in London, the contract was awarded to I.F.F. Research Ltd for a total value of £291,041.50, with a contract period set from 5th October 2020 to 30th April 2021. The procurement process was conducted via a selective method, relying on a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The award notice was published on 28th January 2021, and the initial tender period ended on 30th September 2020.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in research and evaluation services, particularly those adept in both quantitative and qualitative analysis. Businesses that can conduct surveys and engage in in-depth interviews with various court and tribunal users will find themselves well-positioned to compete. The focus on remote hearing practices suggests that companies with experience in understanding user experiences, particularly in the legal or public services sectors, would be especially advantageous in bidding for similar future contracts.
