Procurement HPCDS Services in England and Wales from 1 March 2020 - Boston and Lincoln HPCDS Scheme

The LAA is inviting Applicants to submit a tender for an Exclusive Schedule under a 2013 Standard Civil Contract (as amended) ("HPCDS Contract or Contract") to deliver Housing Possession Court Duty Scheme (HPCDS) services in the Boston and Lincoln Scheme until 30 September 2020.

The LAA is offering up to four contracts in the Boston and Lincoln HPCDS Scheme.

These Contracts will commence on 1 March 2020 or on the date on which Applicants tender to deliver these services.

The LAA is seeking to award HPCDS Contracts to Applicants who:

• a.are able to deliver HPCDS Services through an Office based in the corresponding Housing and Debt Procurement Area and hold a 2018 Standard Civil Contract with authorisation in the Housing and Debt Categories of Law; and
• b.have relevant and recent experience of delivering HPCDS services; and
• c.are able to deliver HPCDS services from the contract start date.

Where the LAA is unable to secure HPCDS Services from organisations able to meet all these requirements, it will consider Tenders from Applicants able to meet only some of them (see section 6 of IFA).

Applicants interested in bidding for the Boston and Lincoln Scheme may bid to deliver services at either Boston, or Lincoln, or at both courts.

Any organisation who meets the minimum contract requirements may tender to deliver HPCDS Services.All Tenders must be completed and submitted using the e-Tendering 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
