    Brief

    The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) is conducting preliminary market engagement to explore the future delivery of intermediary services across the justice sector. This notice is published for transparency under the Procurement Act 2023 and does not indicate the start of a formal procurement process. The MoJ is considering how to consolidate and improve intermediary services currently delivered through multiple channels: the HMCTS Appointed Intermediary Services Frameworks (HAIS), the Witness Intermediary Scheme (WIS), ad hoc services supporting His Majesty's Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS), and the Parole Board. Intermediary services involve specialist communication professionals who assess and meet the communication needs of vulnerable witnesses, defendants, and other parties in the justice system. Intermediaries conduct assessments, provide written and oral reports on communication requirements, and implement appropriate measures during court hearings, interviews, and other proceedings to ensure vulnerable persons can participate effectively and provide complete, coherent evidence. The MoJ is seeking early engagement from the market to understand service delivery options and supplier capabilities before developing a full procurement strategy.
