Description

The LAA is inviting Applicants who submitted an Expression of Interest to deliver Housing Possession Court Duty Scheme (HPCDS) services in Willesden court to submit a Tender for an Exclusive Schedule under a 2013 Standard Civil Contract (as amended) ("HPCDS Contract or Contract") to deliver those services until 30 September 2020.

The LAA is offering one Contract to deliver the Willesden HPCDS Scheme.
This Contract will commence on 1 March 2020 or on the date on which the successful Applicant tenders to deliver these services.
The LAA is seeking to award a HPCDS Contract to an Applicant who:
a. is able to deliver HPCDS Services through an Office based in the corresponding or neighbouring Housing and Debt Procurement Area and hold a 2018 Standard Civil Contract with authorisation in the Housing and Debt Categories of Law; and
b. has relevant and recent experience of delivering HPCDS services; and
c. is able to deliver HPCDS services from the contract start date.
In London Housing and Debt Procurement Areas are small and geographically close, with easy and relatively inexpensive public transport available for Clients. Therefore, Applicants tendering from an Office in a neighbouring Housing and Debt Procurement Area will be given equal preference to Applicants tendering from an Office in the corresponding Brent Housing and Debt Procurement Area. A list of neighbouring Housing and Debt Procurement Areas which are adjacent to the Brent Housing and Debt Procurement Area is at Annex B.

All Tenders must be completed and submitted using the e-Tendering system. This can be accessed either through a link on the tender pages of the LAA website or directly at www.legalaid.bravosolution.co.uk
