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.\nTransparency: 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.\nIn 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 Therefore, bidders who wish information not to be published if successful should secure agreement with the MoJ prior to submission.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.\nhttp://www.justice.gov.uk/guidance/docs/foi-exemption-s43.pdf\nThe prescribed grounds for redaction are:\n(a) national security;\n(b) personal data;\n(c) information protected by intellectual property law;\n(d) information which it is not in the public interest to disclose (following the tests under the Freedom of Information Act 2000);\n(e) third party confidential information;\n(f) IT security; or\n(g) prevention of fraud.\nFreedom of information (FOI)\nThe Freedom of Information Act came fully into force in 2005.
