Find Case Law Public Beta Development

The objective of this procurement process is to source a delivery partner who will work with us in developing further the public beta of the Find Case Law service.

The aim of the Find Case Law service (FCL) Is to permanently archive, publish and enable the re-use of court and tribunal judgments as data for everyone. FCL is an information service.

FCL follows an iterative Agile development approach. All service enhancements are planned and implemented in response to evidenced user need. Over the course of the proposed contract period, we anticipate making improvements to all aspects of the service including: our Homepage and support pages including our licence application journey, our search, browse and notifications functionality and our API and data re-use offer.

We also need to improve our editorial interface and our underlying data model and infrastructure to allow us to widen the scope of what we publish without effecting our existing users and service offer.

We expect that additional, yet to be determined, improvements will also be needed and which will emerge from user research and stakeholder engagement.

We intend to award a contract for an initial period of 2 years, with one extension option of up to 12 months. We anticipate that the maximum expenditure over the duration of the contract period (including any extension options) will be £3.45m including VAT (i.e. an average maximum expenditure of £1.15m per year).
