Each year the Ministry of Justice (the Contracting Authority) typically receives in excess of three thousand new personal injury and other private and public law claims of varying degrees of importance, value and sensitivity. These emanate mainly from His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS), for which it is responsible. The Contracting Authority intends to procure a claims handling service to support the efficient and compliant management of low value pre-action claims.
The Supplier shall provide a claims handling service for low cost pre action litigation claims.
The service to be provided shall consist of:
I. investigation by the Supplier of all claims received by them.
II. provision of advice and recommendation on liability and next steps
III. negotiation to reach settlement where possible, and
IV. settlement of liability and of compensation levels and costs.
The Supplier shall investigate all referrals, provide advice on legal liability and quantum and negotiate settlements either directly with the claimants, legal representatives, third parties or their insurers. Additional information: The MoJ uses an electronic sourcing (e-sourcing) system to facilitate procurement activity.

Publisher note: Nothing in this notice shall generate any contractual obligations prior to the signature or execution of agreement or contracts following completion of the tender process. The MoJ reserves the right to reject all or any of the bids for the competition and not to appoint any potential provider, without any liability on its part. Transparency: HM Government requires that tender documentation issued by Government departments for contracts with a value exceeding GBP 10 000 over the life of the contract are published online (http://www.contractsfinder.businesslink.gov.uk) for the general public. In the event a contract is awarded following a tendering exercise, the contract will be published on the contracts finder website, subject to the statutory grounds for redaction as set out in the Freedom of Information Act 2000. The MoJ may use its discretion to redact information to protect key commercial interests or on prescribed grounds. Therefore, bidders who wish information not to be published if successful should secure agreement with the MoJ prior to submission. Only documentation relating to awarded contracts will be published. Key commercial interests, trade secrets and commercial interests which would be prejudiced by publication, following the tests in section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 maybe redacted. http://www.justice.gov.uk/guidance/docs/foi-exemption-s43.pdf The prescribed grounds for redaction are: (a) national security; (b) personal data; (c) information protected by intellectual property law; (d) information which it is not in the public interest to disclose (following the tests under the Freedom of Information Act 2000); (e) third party confidential information; (f) IT security; or (g) prevention of fraud. Freedom of information (FOI) The Freedom of Information Act came fully into force in 2005. If any organisation considers that any information supplied by them is either commercially sensitive or confidential in nature, this should be highlighted and the reasons for its sensitivities specified. In such cases the relevant material will in response to FOI requests be examined in the light of exemptions provided for in the Act.
