This contract, valued at £73,446, is expected to commence on 1st March 2020 and will run until 30th September 2020. The tender period is set to close on 6th February 2020, and the initiative falls under the legal services industry category. The procurement method employed is selective, following a restricted procedure above the threshold. This tender presents a significant opportunity for legal service providers, particularly those with a focus on housing and debt law, to expand their operations in the London area. Businesses that possess recent experience in delivering HPCDS services and are located within or near the Brent Housing and Debt Procurement Area will be well-positioned to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, ensuring that a diverse range of suppliers can engage with this public procurement opportunity. ## Notice The LAA is inviting Applicants who submitted an Expression of Interest to deliver Housing Possession Court Duty Scheme (HPCDS) services in Willesden court to submit a Tender for an Exclusive Schedule under a 2013 Standard Civil Contract (as amended) ("HPCDS Contract or Contract") to deliver those services until 30 September 2020.
