Description

This requirement relates to the provision of national secure email, file encryption and disaster recovery service within the Ministry of Justice and participating Contracting Authorities across England, Wales, Scotland & Northern Ireland. The Authority is seeking a supplier to design, build and transition (including data migration) from the existing Cross Justice Secure Mail (previously known as Criminal Justice Secure eMail) ("CJSM") (the "Implementation Phase") and to manage and maintain the Cross Justice Secure Mail as a new system (the "Live Phase"). CJSM has been in operation for over 20 years and enables OFFICIAL information to be communicated between assured organisations, both in the public and private sector, such as the Crown Prosecution Service, victim support organisations, the police, probation, legal representatives, private prisons, and others. The service supports a large number of users, user organisations and communications: - over 10,000 connected organisations - over 12,000 connected domains - over 478,000 active users per annum - over 52,000,000 electronic messages relayed each year The estimated total value of the Contract is £26,000,000 including implementation costs and the live service. The actual value of the Contract will depend on a number of influencing factors including: a) the prices tendered by the successful Bidder; b) the implementation plan tendered by the successful Bidder; c) whether any extension options are applied; d) whether any of the optional services are taken up by the Ministry of Justice and participating Contracting Authorities across England, Wales, Scotland & Northern Ireland during the term of the Contract.
