Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Legal Aid Agency (LAA) launched a procurement process titled "Face to Face Education legal advice services," focusing on legal services, with the contract intended to commence as soon as possible in June, no later than 1 July 2021. The procurement method used is an open procedure, and the deadline for submitting tenders was 5pm on 20 May 2021. The delivery location is restricted to England and Wales. This procurement has now reached the complete stage, with contracts already awarded to active suppliers including Harrow Law Centre, Lawstop, Watkins and Gunn, and Just for Kids Law.

This procurement opportunity presents a significant avenue for growth for legal service providers, particularly those with capabilities in face-to-face education legal advice. Organisations that can handle direct referrals from the Civil Legal Advice telephone helpline, especially on Thursdays and Fridays, would be well-positioned to compete effectively. As the LAA seeks quality legal service delivery, firms that are agile and can meet the stringent criteria outlined in the tender documentation will find themselves at an advantage.
