## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by The Legal Aid Agency, seeks to establish Housing Possession Court Duty Scheme Contracts (HPCDS) from 24 August 2020 to 30 September 2021, with a potential 12-month extension. This open tender, classified under legal services, primarily targets locations across the United Kingdom, including the North West, East Midlands, and South East. Interested applicants must be existing Housing and Debt Legal Aid Contract holders, and they must submit their tenders by 9 am on 10 August 2020 using the designated e-Tendering system.

This opportunity allows businesses in the legal services sector, particularly those specialising in housing and debt, to expand their reach and potentially increase revenue through court duty schemes. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) that can meet the minimum contract requirements will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, benefiting from the open nature of the procurement process.
