Procurement of Housing and Debt Services from 1 October 2023

The Legal Aid Agency (“LAA”) has identified the need to increase access to legal aid Housing and Debt Services in specific Procurement areas. Accordingly, it is inviting Applicants to submit a Tender to deliver Housing and Debt Services in:

1. Walsall

The opportunity to deliver housing and debt services is open to any organisation that can meet the minimum tender requirements. An organisation does not need to be a current legal aid provider to tender for this opportunity.

The Deadline for submitting Tenders is 5pm on 4 September 2023 (“Deadline”)

All Tenders must be completed and submitted using the eTendering 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.

Late submissions will not be considered under any circumstances. It is the Applicant’s sole responsibility to ensure that the LAA receives its Tender before the Deadline.

The LAA is looking for Applicants who can start delivering Contact Work from 1 October 2023 where possible. But organisations unable to start on 1 October 2023 will be able to tender to start delivering work from a later date. Applicants will be required to state in their Tender when they can start delivering Contract Work from each Office from which they are bidding. Contracts will run until 31 August 2024 (subject to the LAA’s rights of early termination).
