## Summary

The Ministry of Justice procured digital delivery services for Communities of Practice. The awarded requirement is titled HMCTS Digital Engineering Communities of Practice and concerns digital engineering capability for HM Courts and Tribunals Service. The work falls within IT services, including consulting, software development, internet-related services and support. It is a services procurement rather than a goods supply or construction project. The requirement is intended to support communities of practice in a public-sector digital engineering environment, bringing together professional knowledge, delivery expertise and technical support. Businesses operating in digital delivery, software engineering, technology consulting, online services or IT support may therefore find the subject matter relevant, particularly where they can work with central government and justice-sector digital teams.

The procurement has reached the award stage and is complete. The Ministry of Justice used a selective procedure and made a competitive award under a framework agreement, covering one lot. Solirius Reply Ltd was awarded the contract on 18 August 2026 for £250,000 excluding VAT, or £300,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 31 August 2026 to 30 August 2029. A signature milestone was scheduled for 31 August 2026. The award is recorded as active. The opportunity was above the applicable threshold. The published information identifies competition under the framework as the basis of the route to award; it does not set out separate quality, price or other evaluation weightings.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates demand from the Ministry of Justice for structured digital delivery supporting HMCTS digital engineering communities of practice. A credible future competitor would need capability in IT consulting, software development, internet and online services, and technical support, with the ability to apply those skills in a community-of-practice setting. Relevant organisations are likely to be established digital delivery or technology services businesses able to provide sustained professional and engineering support rather than a one-off software product. Experience working with central government, justice-sector technology, multidisciplinary delivery teams and knowledge-sharing networks would strengthen a supplier’s position when this requirement is next considered.
