Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if he will publish the statement of requirements for the contract to provide management consultancy services in relation to the electronic monitoring programme, procurement reference 345059/1227950, as agreed between his Department and Ernst & Young LLP on 5 May 2023.

The statement of requirements was published to 30 suppliers under CCS MCF3 – Lot 3 – Complex and Transformation, as part of the ITT that published to market. The statement of requirements was only available to the suppliers that were invited on our E-sourcing portal and therefore was not accessible by the wider public and only to the suppliers that were invited to bid.

The Ministry of Justice intends to release the information, and it will be completed within 30 days. An unredacted version of the statement of requirements shall be published on contracts finder.
