## Summary

The Department for International Trade has completed the procurement process for the "Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry- Document Disclosure 2024-2025" project, classified under legal services (CPV 79100000). Located in London, the procurement used a selective method, specifically through a call-off from a framework agreement. Awarded on 11th September 2024, the contract is valued at £26,800,000 and spans from 11th September 2024 to 11th September 2026. The key task for the supplier, TLT LLP, is to support the Post Office Horizon Inquiry with document review services, aiding in the disclosure and processing of evidence as mandated by the inquiry, chaired by Sir Wyn Williams.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in legal and document review services, particularly those capable of handling large-scale, complex legal inquiries. Large firms with expertise in legal document management and review are well-suited to compete for similar future contracts. Though SMEs and VCSEs were deemed unsuitable for this specific procurement, involvement in such high-profile inquiries can significantly enhance a firm’s portfolio and credibility, potentially leading to further opportunities within the public sector.

## Notice

The Post Office Horizon Inquiry has been tasked with ensuring there is a public summary of the failings that occurred which were associated with the Horizon IT system. The Inquiry, led by the Chair Sir Wyn Williams, was formally launched on 29th September 2020 when the Chair was announced. The supplier is to support the Inquiry in fulfilling its statutory requirement to gather and disclose evidence, through a team of document reviewers. Once hearings are complete, the supplier will continue to provide document review services to the Inquiry until such time when the services are no longer required. The document review team will be assigned documents by the inquiry legal team, and will be processed as one of three tasks, including Duplicate Review, Initial Review, and Quality Assurance.
