The Scottish Legal Aid Board, located at Thistle House, 91 Haymarket Terrace, Edinburgh, has recently completed a tender process for "Case Management Software". This procurement falls within the legal industry category and aims to provide a digital-first approach in line with the Scottish Government’s Digital First Service Standards. The open procedure facilitated this tender, which was initially initiated on 25th August 2021, with the contract awarded on 30th July 2021 to Civica UK Limited.
