Description
On 26 September 2017 the Legal Aid Agency ("LAA") invited tenders to provide the LAA's publicly funded telephone-based Civil Legal Advice ("CLA") Contract Work from 1 September 2018.
This was part of a wider procurement process for 2018 civil legal aid contracts to award face to face advice contracts, Housing Possession Court Duty Scheme contracts and CLA specialist telephone advice contracts (referred to as the "Main Civil 2018 Procurement Process").
Further to the LAA's announcement on 5 February 2018 that the procurement process for new CLA discrimination services had been cancelled following receipt of insufficient compliant tenders, the LAA is inviting tenders in the Discrimination Category of Law in this procurement process, referred to in this document as the "Supplemental CLA Procurement Process" or "this procurement process".
Under the Supplemental CLA Procurement Process the LAA is inviting responses from Applicants to its Invitation To Tender ("ITT") for the delivery of publicly funded civil legal aid services from 1 September 2018 under a 2018 Civil Legal Advice Contract (also referred to in this document as "CLA Contract" or "Contract") in the Discrimination Category of Law only.
