## Summary

The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) is currently in the planning stage for the procurement of the Court Funds Office (CFO) service, as per the Procurement Act 2023. This procurement exercise aims to develop a new operating model for the CFO service, which includes banking, investment, and funds administration services for civil courts in England and Wales. With a gross estimated value of £47,128,000, the project seeks to transform the largely manual process into a modern digital service that enhances accessibility, efficiency, and user experience. The procurement is particularly focused on a structured market engagement phase, starting with a webinar on 8th July 2026, to gather feedback on emerging requirements and strategies. Interested suppliers are required to confirm attendance by 3rd July 2026.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for suppliers skilled in delivering secure, end-to-end financial and investment services that can support digital transformation. Businesses excelling in systems integration, operational processing, and secure data management stand to benefit from this contract, especially companies classified as SMEs or VCSEs. Participation in the preliminary market engagement process will allow businesses to influence the procurement strategy and better align offerings with MoJ requirements, setting the stage for successful bidding in forthcoming stages of the tender.

## Notice

The Ministry of Justice (MoJ), through the Office of the Accountant General (OAG), is preparing to procure a future operating model for the Court Funds Office (CFO) service, which provides banking, investment and funds administration services for clients of the civil courts in England and Wales, including the Court of Protection. The service operates within a highly regulated environment and supports the safeguarding and administration of funds held on behalf of vulnerable court users and children. The procurement is expected to seek a supplier capable of delivering a modern, secure and resilient end-to-end service, including digital customer channels, operational processing, payment and investment administration, systems integration, data migration, service transition and ongoing live operations. A key objective of the programme is to transform the current largely manual and legacy-based service into a streamlined digital service that improves accessibility, efficiency, transparency and user experience for both clients and administrators. The Authority intends to continue engaging with the market to further refine the service requirements, delivery approach and procurement strategy ahead of finalising the procurement approach and future tender requirements.
