The immediate objective of the Innovation Fund is to stimulate the EM community (academics, voluntary sector, justice system partners and incumbent and new suppliers) and beyond to develop evidence-based monitoring innovations that will help the MoJ to meet the vision, aims and objectives set out in our strategy (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attac...) as well as assisting in the broader government goals of protecting the public and reducing reoffending. £3.9m of funding is available in financial year 2022/23, followed by £7.9m in 2023/24 and £8.1m in 2024/25 to fund innovative small-scale pilots, tests and research projects which will enhance our understanding of ‘what works’ in electronic monitoring practice, as such a robust approach to evaluation and capturing evidence will be an expectation of all projects. During financial year 2022/23 we are particularly looking for innovative proposals in the following areas to meet our user problem statements: Data and Management Information (MI) Complementary Technologies Ways of Working Additional information: Supplier Engagement will be managed via the MOJ e-sourcing portal; Ministry of Justice Sourcing Portal (bravosolution.co.uk); Organisations that are not already registered need to register.
