## Summary

The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) is initiating a planned procurement process for language services, particularly interpretation services, across the justice system in England and Wales, as well as some tribunals in Scotland. This contract is in the planning stage and is expected to be available in various lots, with the future notice date set for 9th May 2022. Interested suppliers are invited to submit a questionnaire by 22nd November 2021 to express their capability to provide face-to-face, telephone, and video interpreting services for both spoken and non-spoken languages. The procurement is classified under the CPV code 79540000, indicating it involves various interpretation services within the broader category of services.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in language services, particularly those offering interpretation and related services targeting the public sector. Companies that focus on innovative delivery methods, including technological solutions for remote interpreting, may find themselves particularly well-suited for this contract. As the MoJ continues its market engagement, businesses should be prepared to adapt their proposals to meet specific requirements that may emerge, while keeping in mind the opportunity to establish long-term relationships within the justice sector.
