Lot 1: The purpose of this Prior Information Notice (PIN) is to inform the market of the potential opportunity for the provision of WAN services and the MoJ's intention to engage with potential suppliers through a supplier briefing event to be held on 21 March 2023. In the first instance, suppliers should register on the MoJ eSourcing Portal at https://ministryofjusticecommercial.bravosolution.co.uk/ and, within the eSourcing Portal, register for event 'PQQ_329 - Evolve WAN Services - Pre-Procurement Supplier Engagement'. Information for prospective suppliers will be provided within the eSourcing Portal, including full details of the market engagement event, and a suite of material relevant to the procurement including a confidentiality agreement. There is also a messaging feature for any questions to MoJ and for receiving any further updates. Suppliers will not be required to sign the confidentiality agreement in order to attend the market engagement event but will need to sign the confidentiality agreement if they wish to have access to the procurement. The MoJ is currently in the process of securing the necessary approvals to go to market to procure the WAN services. This PIN does not formally signify the beginning of a procurement and does not constitute a commitment by the MoJ to undertake any market engagement events or procurement exercises. When the MoJ decides to formally commence the procurement for WAN services, a separate contract notice will be issued in the Find a Tender Service (https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Search) Any resulting procurement will be managed electronically via the MoJ eSourcing Portal (https://ministryofjusticecommercial.bravosolution.co.uk/).
