The LAA intends to award IRC Exclusive Schedules to a minimum of 3 organisations but there is no upper limit on the number of organisations that may be awarded IRC Exclusive Schedules under this procurement process.
Applicants do not need to be a current legal aid provider to submit a tender, enabling organisations new to legal aid to bid to deliver this work. To be awarded Contract Work Applicants must:
a) Either:
Organisations solely regulated by OISC are not eligible to bid as they will not be able to meet all the tender requirements.
A revised supervisor standard has been introduced for this procurement process to ensure the quality of advice provided. This requires supervisors to provide additional case examples of common elements of work encountered at IRCs.
Applicants wishing to deliver the above service must submit a Tender which consists of a response to the SQ and the Derwentside IRC ITT.
This opportunity opens on 22 July 2021. The deadline for submitting a Tender is 12 noon on 23 August 2021.
