## Summary

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.

## Notice

The MoJ Library and Information Service (jLIS) and other participating departments require current legal information in Print and eBook format from all legal publishers in the UK, and on occasion, overseas publishers. For the MoJ, this is predominantly about the provision of a core collection of approximately 500 legal publications which includes books, loose leafs, law reports and journals. Details of these core titles will be made available in the tender documents. Many of these titles are required in large quantities as they are provided to all judges, courts and tribunals. Other publications will be required on an ad hoc basis and quantities will vary. The tender process will result in framework agreements with a duration of 4 years. Additional information: The Ministry of Justice will be performing events through its e-Sourcing Portal. The e-Sourcing Portal is an online application that allows all potential suppliers to create and submit their responses to any to any Requests for Information, Request for Quotes or Requests for Proposals via the internet rather than in paper form (where they have been invited to respond). To express an interest in this event, please send an email to: helen.wood2@justice.gsi.gov.uk stating: 1. Company Name, 2. Your Name, 3. Contact email, 4. Sourcing Reference Number: 3952 - Operational Goods- N- RFP. The buyer will then contact you with the registration process, if you are not already registered on the Ministry of Justice e-Sourcing portal.
