This is a critical service for the MoJ requiring the development of a strategic partnership with the MoJ\. The MoJ may, during the contract term, add to or amend the scope of EM in accordance with ministerial ambitions and their longer-term strategy\. Although the MoJ is the contracting authority for the procurement of FMS and will be the contracting counterparty for FMS, it intends to allow other government departments and arms-length bodies to have access to FMS via its contract as service recipients who may add further service required\. The integration, collaboration and delivery of MDSS and FMS together as a single service is critical to the successful delivery of EM, so the procurements will be run broadly alongside each other and lead to aligned implementation and go-live of the new EM service\. Suppliers who bid for FMS may also bid for MDSS and, subject to the MoJ's requirements in each procurement process, the same supplier may be awarded the contracts for both MDSS and FMS\.
