Suppliers register and bid through the MOJ Sourcing Portal, the department's e-procurement platform. Much of this procurement flows through framework agreements and dynamic purchasing systems. HM Courts and Tribunals Service, HM Prison and Probation Service and the Legal Aid Agency are the department's main delivery bodies.
