## Notice

The Authority requires a Supplier to ensure reports undertaken by His Majesty's Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate are seen as professionally presented as well as being factually correct and robust when subject to scrutiny. His Majesty's Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate (HMCPSI) inspects the work carried out by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and other prosecuting agencies. We are independent from these organisations with completely separate funding. Our independence from government and the agencies we inspect enables us to identify weaknesses. His Majesty's Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate (HMCPSI) is a small organisation that publishes 8-10 reports a year. HMCPSI is keen to ensure that these are seen as professionally presented as well as being factually correct and robust when subject to scrutiny. It is important that these reports: - Conform to an in-house style and layout - Conform to an in-house branding - Are understood by both public and professionals in the Criminal Justice System - Have been proofread to ensure correct use of grammar, spelling, punctuation, and clarity.
