The services are available to the Ministry of Justice, its executive agencies and its arm's length bodies. The scope of services includes face to face, telephone and video interpreting services for spoken languages, BSL, visual and tactile communication and quality assurance of all language services. Translation and transcription services are out of scope. It is very likely the contract will be divided into lots but this is to be developed as part of our market engagement. We have included examples of lots below. 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 upcoming market engagement events in the new year. Interested parties are required to complete the following actions: 1) Register an account through the MoJ Sourcing Portal at https://ministryofjusticecommercial.bravosolution.co.uk 2) Navigate to the left side menu and click on ‘PQQs Open to All Suppliers’ > find and click on ‘PQQ_323 – Language Services (Market Engagement Only)’ - for the avoidance of doubt this is not an actual PQQ just a space on our sourcing system to coordinate market engagement activities. There are no mandatory actions to take. 3) You can express an interest by clicking ‘Express interest’. We will be using the above forum to communicate future events and anticipate our first market engagement event to be held early in the new year. Sufficient notice for this event will be provided. We'd also like to acknowledge that our upcoming procurement is going ahead later than originally published in our PIN last year. We will be sharing new timelines and be available to answer your questions in our upcoming market engagement events. ## Lots (5) ### Lot 1: Example: Face to face and remote interpreting for spoken languages - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planned - **CPV codes:** 79540000 - **Delivery regions:** UK - **Description:** This lot is an example of potential lots that are being explored and is a placeholder before lots are fully developed in market engagement. ### Lot 2: Example: Face to face and remote interpreting for BSL, visual and tactile communication - **Lot id:** `2` - **Status:** planned - **CPV codes:** 79540000 - **Delivery regions:** UK - **Description:** This lot is an example of potential lots that are being explored and is a placeholder before lots are fully developed in market engagement. ### Lot 3: Example: Telephone Interpreting - **Lot id:** `3` - **Status:** planned - **CPV codes:** 79540000 - **Delivery regions:** UK - **Description:** This lot is an example of potential lots that are being explored and is a placeholder before lots are fully developed in market engagement. ### Lot 4: Example: Techology Services - **Lot id:** `4` - **Status:** planned - **CPV codes:** 48000000, 72260000 - **Delivery regions:** UK - **Description:** This lot is an example of potential lots that are being explored and is a placeholder before lots are fully developed in market engagement.
