Military Courts Contract retained
Following an extensive re-tender process, Merrill Legal Solutions was successful in retaining the contract to cover all Military Courts in the UK for a further five years. Having first been awarded the contract in 2001, this is seen as an endorsement of the excellent service Merrill Legal Solutions has provided and the successful migration from stenography to digital audio recording.
‘We are very excited by our work with the Military Courts Service and look forward to continuing to work with them over the next five years. The re-awarding of this tender is a good reflection of the quality of transcription and exceptional service received by the Military Court Service over the last five years’, said Jayne Perry, UK Managing Director of Merrill Legal Solutions.
Merrill Legal Solutions provides over two million pages of transcripts per annum on behalf of Courts Services and Government Agencies in the UK, Ireland, Singapore, Sri Lanka and Australia. In addition we provide consultancy for the courts of Bahrain and the Bahamas around utilising technology for a more cost effective transcription solution. With an emphasis on value, Merrill Legal Solutions is uniquely placed to provide bespoke solutions by utilising technologies that have been successful on other contracts.
Miles Crowley, Director Military Court Service says ‘In common with Crown Courts, Military Courts-Martial require the accurate and timely production of transcripts. The provision of a VCR is an integral part of our business and I congratulate Merrill Legal Solutions on competing for and winning the contract for the next five years. Having recently been appointed Director Military Court Service I look forward to forming a productive and effective partnership with Merrill Legal Solutions’.
