The MoJ is developing its commercial strategy for the provision of language services and is interested in understanding the market’s capacity and capability to bid for, and provide, these services.
The purpose of this notice is to enable suppliers to express interest, and register with us to receive further information on an upcoming event likely to be held on the 15th of March. We’d like to take this opportunity to discuss and understand your technical solutions and how you could advise us to meet our digital requirements for an independent IT solution that manages our Languages Services bookings and attendance management system as an end-to-end process. This may include interfacing with other third-party suppliers and fit into the department's current infrastructure. It would also be helpful to understand any potential opportunities and any challenges you foresee
