This procurement, classified under IT services (CPV code: 72000000), aims to evaluate and potentially enhance the remote assessment approach employed by the Judicial Appointments Commission (JAC). Planning for this opportunity commenced on 5th February 2021, with a communication of future notices expected by 26th February 2021. The contract's execution period is set to begin on 1st April 2021 and conclude on 31st March 2024, with a budget of £120,000. Interested parties should note that the delivery address is in London, SW1H 9AJ. This tender presents a notable opportunity for consultancy firms specialising in IT services and reform assessments, particularly those with expertise in remote recruitment processes. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-positioned to compete for this contract due to the emphasis on tailored consultancy services that support innovative recruitment methods. The insights and recommendations derived from this review are likely to enhance operational efficiency within the JAC and could create further consulting opportunities in similar public sector roles. ## Notice The purpose of the procurement is to establish a Contract for the Consultancy Services for the Judicial Appointments Commission (JAC), an Arms Length Body (ALB) of the Ministry of Justice (MoJ). The JAC is responsible for the selection of candidates for judicial office in courts and tribunals in England and Wales, and for some tribunals with UK-wide jurisdiction. An independent review of the effectiveness of the assessment tools that JAC use to shortlist candidates was conducted in 2018 concluded that the JAC were broadly following a best practice approach. However, the review set out a number of recommendations for further improvement - which the JAC have been implementing. This external scrutiny from recognised industry experts has strengthened the confidence of key stakeholders in the assessment tools used by the JAC in recruitment. Since March 2020 the JAC has been undertaking a full remote approach to candidate assessment in response to COVID19. Early indications are that this has been a success and an extension of the remote assessment approach to selected recruitment exercises, post COVID19, has the potential to deliver benefits to the JAC. The JAC Commission Board have asked for an evaluation of the approach to remote assessment to be presented to them during 2021 with recommendations as to where in the forward programme a remote approach to assessment may be extended post-COVID19 Consultancy services are required to support this initial evaluation, further reviews and implementation of changes as necessary over the period of the contract. This will be a three (3) year Contract covering the years, 2021/22, 2022/23 and 2023/24 to allow JAC to call off Consultancy Services throughout the period. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9e66e876-cad1-4fc0-8238-dbe06f4f6eaf | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Feb 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 26 Feb 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2021 - 31 Mar 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £120,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MINISTRY OF JUSTICE. | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1H 9AJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 5 Feb 2021 at 14:25 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9e66e876-cad1-4fc0-8238-dbe06f4f6eaf ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9e66e876-cad1-4fc0-8238-dbe06f4f6eaf 5th February 2021 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
