## Summary

The Legal Services Board (LSB) is conducting a public procurement process titled "External Board Evaluation," aimed at appointing a qualified third-party provider to perform an evaluation of the LSB Board. This process falls within the miscellaneous business and business-related services industry category. The tendering period for submissions concluded on 8 June 2022, with the contract awarded on 4 July 2022. This evaluation is particularly significant as it marks the first external assessment since 2018. The contract period runs from 4 July 2022 to 18 October 2022, and the total value of the contract is £30,000. Further, the procurement was executed through an open procedure method, ensuring transparency and competitiveness in bidding.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for professional services firms, particularly those specialising in governance evaluation, consultancy, and organizational assessments. Businesses with experience in board evaluations or governance-related advisory services would be well-positioned to compete. Given the emphasis on a thorough evaluation involving interviews and meetings with board members, firms demonstrating a strong understanding of governance practices and relevant credentials will be particularly attractive to the LSB. Engaging in this procurement process could help grow their business by establishing a significant relationship with a pivotal regulatory body.

## Notice

The Legal Services Board (LSB) is looking to appoint a suitably qualified third party to undertake an external evaluation of the LSB Board. The last external evaluation was undertaken in 2018. In the intervening years internal evaluations have been undertaken. The prospective professional services provider will be expected to undertake an evaluation of the Board that as a minimum includes a desk-based review of evidence (board papers, governance policies, minutes etc), interviews (can be undertaken virtually) of all ten Board Members as a minimum along with potentially interviewing members of the executive and key stakeholders and observation of at least one Board meeting. Observation is likely to take place at the 19 July Board meeting which is currently planned to be a virtual meeting. A tender is required which should include method statements, but not be limited to: * A description of how you would work with us, the key people that will work the LSB and their background, experiences and skills. * A description of how you will meet the service specification requirements listed in paragraph 15 onwards above. * A fully costed proposal with fixed and variable costs. * A completed supplier questionnaire form (annex A). * A completed EDI form (annex B). * A completed non-collusive tendering certificate (annex C). Failure to provide any of the above details may lead to bids being disregarded with no further evaluation. Electronic completion and signing of the forms is acceptable. Full details of the background, scope, scoring criteria and how to apply may be found in the invitation to tender attached to this notice. All tender submissions should be submitted by 12:00 on 08 June 2022 to tenders@legalservicesboard.org.uk . Submissions submitted to other addresses or beyond this time will not be accepted. Please contact Ethan Fleming, Corporate Governance Manager, tenders@legalservicesboard.org.uk, if you have any questions or require any clarification. Enquiries received after the deadline for questions may not be answered. A summary of the questions received and LSB's response will be published on Contracts Finder.
