## Summary

The procurement process titled "SFO/RTR01-RTT01/DF" involved the contracting of real-time transcription services under a call-off contract from a Ministry of Justice framework. This procurement was conducted by the Serious Fraud Office (SFO), located in London, England. The procurement fits within the category of law-courts-related administrative services and follows a selective procurement method. The tender period concluded on 19th December 2025, and the contract period spans from 18th March 2026 to 18th March 2027. The award phase is complete, with EPIQ EUROPE, LTD selected as the supplier, having settled the award on 18th March 2026, with a contract value of £32,933 (excluding VAT).

This tender represents an opportunity in the legal services industry for businesses specialising in court-related administrative services. The opportunity was particularly suited for firms capable of providing high-quality transcription services efficiently, with EPIQ EUROPE, LTD being a large-scale company successfully fulfilling these requirements. While the procurement was selective, it could serve as a precedent for other service providers aiming to engage in similar framework agreements, thus enabling them to expand their presence in the legal and transcription service sectors, particularly those recognised as small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
