Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the project titled "ISF Western Balkans: Democratic Empowerment Programme (DEP) - Judicial Integrity" was conducted by the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office. The project is categorised under 'services' with a focus on law-courts-related administrative services and aims to improve judicial integrity across the Western Balkan region. The procurement followed a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition, justified as it falls outside the scope of the standard directive. The contract, valued at GBP 1,300,000, was awarded on 8 May 2025 to Sustainable Criminal Justice Solutions (SCJS), a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in the UK.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities, especially for SMEs specialising in providing services to support governmental and judicial systems. Companies with expertise in judicial administration or similar sectors in the Western Balkans could benefit from engaging in such government-driven initiatives to foster regional development and integrity. As the procurement process utilized a competitive framework that aligns with public-sector needs, businesses capable of offering innovative, cost-effective solutions have a promising avenue for expanding their reach within the public sector.
