The planned procurement involves inviting external providers to conduct research projects aligned with the Ministry's strategic research priorities. The Ministry's address for this procurement is 102 Petty France, Westminster, London, SW1H 9AJ, England. The procurement stage is currently at the planning phase, with a future notice date set for 20th September 2022. The contract period is anticipated to start on 3rd April 2023 and end on 7th April 2025. This tender from the Ministry of Justice presents business growth opportunities for suppliers registered on the Crown Commercial Service's Low Value Purchasing System (RM6327) and Research and Insights DPS (RM6126). Businesses specialising in market research services, feasibility studies, and social research services are well-suited to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate in this tender process to engage with the Ministry and contribute to their evidence needs for the justice system. ## Notice The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) Areas of Research Interest 2020 (ARI) sets out the department's evidence priorities in line with strategic objectives for the justice system; to reduce reoffending, protect the public and deliver swift access to justice. The ARI underpins our engagement with academics and research networks to facilitate collaboration to better understand and address these evidence needs. To support this, MoJ may commission external providers to conduct research and analytical projects. These may involve the use of social research methodologies, such as qualitative interviewing, questionnaires and surveys, evidence reviews and synthesis (including rapid evidence assessments), process and impact evaluations. MoJ's strategic routes to market for external research and analytical projects are the Crown Commercial Service's Low Value Purchasing System (RM6327) and Research and Insights DPS (RM6126). Suppliers will need to be registered on these systems to bid for externally commissioned projects - see below for links to these systems. In order to bid for a particular project, registration must be complete before tender opportunity for that project is published. Suppliers are therefore strongly advised to register as soon as possible. More detail on the two systems is as follows: 1. For projects subject to competitive tender the new Research and Insights Dynamic Purchasing System (R&I DPS) RM6126 is used. This system has replaced the Research Marketplace DPS RM6018. Please see Marketing Communications and Research',, scrolling down to 'Research & insights' and 'Access as a supplier' and 'Bid pack' for more information. 2. For some low complexity projects with a contract value of less than PS122K, the department will consider using the Low Value Purchase System (LVPS), which can facilitate a direct award. Please see here, top of page for the LVPS information, following 'Access as a supplier', to register.
