## About this tender

The Ministry of Justice (hereafter the Authority) intends to run a competition for the procurement of Court Reporting and Transcription Services (CRT) on behalf of HM Courts & Tribunals Service (HMCTS).

The Authority is legally required to record Court proceedings across England and Wales and where requested, produce official transcripts from these hearings. The transcripts are used as evidence in appeals, legal publishing for public interest and form part of case law.

It is the intention that the following transcription services will be procured under a framework agreement:

- Off-site Transcription Services (OTS) which involves the Court recordings being sent to the relevant supplier where they produce the transcription services based on the contracted service level timeframe.
- Attendance-based Transcription Services (ATS) comprises stenographers or loggers attending the Court proceeding and then later producing the transcript to the contracted timescales.
- Real-time Transcription Services (RTS) involves temporarily supplying equipment and production of near-instantaneous transcriptions of proceedings on site.

Additional information:

The planned issue date for the ITT is 22nd August 2022 and the planned tender response date is 26th September 2022.

The MoJ reserves the right to amend or remove part or all of the information prior to full Find a Tender service (FTS) advertisement, and nothing within this notice constitutes any guarantee or binding statement on behalf of the MoJ.

Further details of the services will be set out in the procurement documents.
