The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has established two dynamic framework agreements for the provision of Court Appointed Intermediary Services (CAIS), to support vulnerable defendants in the criminal jurisdiction and vulnerable parties and witnesses in the civil, family and tribunal jurisdictions. These services will be provided in courts and tribunals in England and Wales and tribunals in Scotland. Intermediaries facilitate impartial communication to enable complete, coherent and accurate communication between vulnerable people and the courts/tribunals. Intermediaries may be instructed to provide an assessment of a person's communication needs, and provide recommendations on measures that could be put in place by the court to support vulnerable people, young people, children and other individuals who may need assistance during court proceedings. The intermediary may also be required to attend hearings to provide such assistance and support. For the avoidance of doubt, these frameworks relate only to intermediary services that currently fall outside the remit of the MoJ Witness Intermediary Scheme (MoJ WIS). All requests for intermediary support for witnesses in criminal cases will continue to be managed via the MoJ WIS. ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 75231100 - **Delivery regions:** UK - **Estimated Value:** £20,000,000 - **Description:** The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has established two dynamic framework agreements for the provision of Court Appointed Intermediary Services (CAIS), to support vulnerable defendants in the criminal jurisdiction and vulnerable parties and witnesses in th... - **Renewal published:** yes ## Awards & Winning Suppliers (1) - **Award:** Court Appointed Intermediary Services (active) - Award id: `010377-2022-20354-1` - Supplier(s): **Alison Cox, Amy Harrison Limited, Catherine O'Neill (+12 more suppliers)** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-FTS-50589`, `GB-FTS-50590`, `GB-FTS-50592`, `GB-FTS-50593`, `GB-FTS-52781`, `GB-FTS-50591`, `GB-FTS-50594`, `GB-FTS-50595`, `GB-FTS-50596`, `GB-FTS-50597`, `GB-FTS-50598`, `GB-FTS-50599`, `GB-FTS-50600`, `GB-FTS-50587`, `GB-FTS-50588` - Value: £20,000,000 † (exc.
