The tender period is currently open, with submissions accepted until 6 February 2020. The contract, valued at £52,220, will commence on 1 March 2020 and will last until 30 September 2020. This procurement is classified under legal services and follows an open procedure, inviting diverse organisations capable of meeting the specific requirements to submit their proposals. This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) with relevant legal experience. The ability to deliver services from a local office in the Housing and Debt Procurement Area is essential, making businesses with established local ties particularly well-suited to compete. Participants should prepare to navigate the e-Tendering system to submit their bids, as all interested organisations must meet the minimum contract requirements to take part in this competitive process. ## Notice The LAA is inviting Applicants to submit a tender for an Exclusive Schedule under a 2013 Standard Civil Contract (as amended) ("HPCDS Contract or Contract") to deliver Housing Possession Court Duty Scheme (HPCDS) services in the Boston and Lincoln Scheme until 30 September 2020. The LAA is offering up to four contracts in the Boston and Lincoln HPCDS Scheme. These Contracts will commence on 1 March 2020 or on the date on which Applicants tender to deliver these services. The LAA is seeking to award HPCDS Contracts to Applicants who: a. are able to deliver HPCDS Services through an Office based in the corresponding Housing and Debt Procurement Area and hold a 2018 Standard Civil Contract with authorisation in the Housing and Debt Categories of Law; and b. have relevant and recent experience of delivering HPCDS services; and c. are able to deliver HPCDS services from the contract start date. Where the LAA is unable to secure HPCDS Services from organisations able to meet all these requirements, it will consider Tenders from Applicants able to meet only some of them (see section 6 of IFA). Applicants interested in bidding for the Boston and Lincoln Scheme may bid to deliver services at either Boston, or Lincoln, or at both courts. Any organisation who meets the minimum contract requirements may tender to deliver HPCDS Services.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 All Applicants must submit a Response to the SQ and the ITT. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c1bbe1c9-a9f9-4eeb-a262-c14a91e7fcb0 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Jan 2020 | | Submission deadline | 6 Feb 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Mar 2020 - 30 Sep 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £52,220 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LEGAL AID AGENCY | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1H 9AJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79100000 - Legal services ## Release History - 8 Jan 2020 at 15:39 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c1bbe1c9-a9f9-4eeb-a262-c14a91e7fcb0 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c1bbe1c9-a9f9-4eeb-a262-c14a91e7fcb0 8th January 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.gov.uk/topic/legal-aid-for-providers/tenders ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
