As part of the implementation of workload measurement, the Public Prosecutor's Office wishes to gain a better idea of the actual time use of magistrates and prosecutors working for the Public Prosecutor's Office. The College and the Minister wish to use the data from the workload measurement in the development and costing of an allocation model, which aims to allocate resources among judicial entities.
With this contract, the College of Public Prosecutors intends to measure the number of hours that magistrates (subdivided into heads of corps, leading magistrates and coordinators, and basic magistrates) and prosecutors will actually work on average in 2023 and the time they devote to certain predefined activities related to files (correctional, civil, traffic...) and not related to files (supervision/management, policy, training, etc.).
The market focuses on the following types of entities: Federal Prosecutor's Office, Labour Prosecutor's Office, General Prosecutor's Office and General Prosecutor's Office. Nearly 835 magistrates and 356 prosecutors now work in all these entities.
The College of Public Prosecutors needs to complete a workload measurement previously carried out internally.
In particular, it is now appropriate to examine:
- the average number of hours worked per week by a magistrate (broken down by head of the magistrate, the leading and coordinating magistrate, and a basic magistrate) and a public prosecutor, with a breakdown between the work carried out in judicial cases, on the one hand, and the work not related to the cases (such as training, meetings, committee work, management tasks, etc.), on the other hand;
- the relationship between the two types of time use (file-related and non-case-related work), broken down by entity type.
The results of this survey are expected 9 months (at the latest one year) after the conclusion of the contract. The performance of the services must begin as soon as the contract is concluded.
That is why the College is launching this European call for tenders.
