Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Legal Aid Agency is actively engaging in the procurement process for civil legal aid services under the 2024 Standard Civil Contract. This procurement encompasses various categories such as Family, Housing, Debt, Immigration and Asylum, Mental Health, and more, across locations in England and Wales. The application period is open and runs until approximately 31 December 2025, offering an opportunity to tender for multiple contracts. The procurement method being utilised is an open procedure, and this initiative is covered by the GPA agreements, ensuring broad participation and transparency. The tender process is currently in the active stage, inviting applications electronically or through written submissions, to be concluded on 31 December 2025.

This tender offers significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for legal service providers in multiple categories of law who are looking to expand their services in public procurement contexts. Organisations meeting the minimum requirements can compete to deliver these services, and the process allows for an unlimited number of contracts to be awarded, thus encouraging new entrants and existing providers to tender. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) would find this particularly beneficial due to the open application procedures and the potential for extensive involvement in the civil legal aid services sector. Providers do not need to be current legal aid providers to tender, paving the way for diversification and expansion into new areas. Businesses are encouraged to review the necessary documentation thoroughly and submit their tenders via the designated eTendering system.
