## Summary

The Legal Aid Agency is seeking to enhance its legal services through a procurement process titled "Procurement of HPCDS Services from 1 February 2021." This contracting process belongs to the legal services industry and is based in the East of England and South East England. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender period concluded on 21 December 2020, with the awarded contract valued at £112,619.70. The contract period is set to commence on 1 February 2021 and will run until 30 September 2021, with an option for a 12-month extension.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses already engaged in the housing and debt legal services sector, particularly those holding a 2018 Standard Civil Contract with the necessary authorisations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that possess relevant legal capabilities would be particularly well-suited to compete, as the procurement is designed to leverage existing contracts and expertise within the legal framework, fostering growth and collaboration in this specialised area.

## Notice

To be eligible to bid for a HPCDS contract organisations must have held a 2018 Standard Civil Contract with authorisation in the Housing and Debt Categories of Law. The Deadline for submitting Tenders was 5pm on 21 December 2020. All Tenders were completed and submitted using the e-Tendering system.
