This procurement process, currently in the planning stage, seeks contributions across three key themes: Health, Wellbeing and Behavioural Analytics; Identity, Access, and Compliance Monitoring; and Non-Custodial and Community-Based Monitoring. The procurement falls under the Information Technology Services category, and targets solutions that can be implemented across a variety of geographic locations, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, and more. The engagement end date is set for the 10th of June 2025, drawing interest from potential bidders to become involved before this pivotal deadline. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in innovative technology, particularly SMEs and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies with expertise in emerging technologies such as wearables and digital biomarkers, or those experienced in developing scalable biometric and compliance systems, are well-positioned to demonstrate their solutions. By aligning with the MOJ's strategic goals, businesses can not only contribute to societal advancements in justice but also secure a position within a transformative sector likely to benefit from significant investment and growth opportunities. The Ministry includes representation from their Ministerial Team, offering a high-level platform for businesses to showcase their capabilities. ## Notice **THIS EOI IS NOT A PROCUREMENT** This EOI is being conducted following the MoJ Roundtable event, held on 8th May 2025. The MoJ are pleased to invite organisations to participate in an Innovation Den to showcase their ideas on how we can address some of the challenges faced within the justice system and to contribute meaningfully to the national dialogue on the future of our justice system. Based on the MOJ's confidence in the submissions, which will cover transformational impact, innovation and alignment with our selected key themes, the MoJ may select a range of organisations (likely between 5 to 10) to attend an Innovation Den, which will include representation from our Ministerial Team. Any submissions that are not taken through initially may be kept on file for future consideration. The key focus of this EOI is across the following three themes: 1. Theme 1 - Health, Wellbeing and Behavioural Analytics Assessing how emerging technologies, particularly wearables and digital biomarkers, can detect drug use, monitor physical and mental health, evaluate intervention outcomes and support lasting behavioural change. The focus includes methods that enable early intervention and personalised support in justice settings. 2. Theme 2 - Identity, Access and Compliance Monitoring Exploring how technology, including biometric tools, wearables, drug detection and secure authentication systems, can remotely and reliably verify identity, confirm location and monitor compliance in real time. The focus includes scalable, tamper-resistant solutions that enable more flexible forms of supervision. 3. Theme 3 - Non-Custodial and Community-Based Monitoring Investigating the use of smart technologies to create a 'prison outside of prison', combining wearables, geolocation and behavioural monitoring to support structured, remotely supervised routines in the community. This includes innovations that strengthen enforcement, encourage desistance and enhance public protection. A summary of this EOI including instructions about how to respond is also attached to notice.
