We have started to notify organisations of the outcome of their tenders to deliver work under the Housing Possession Court Duty Scheme (HPCDS)..
This follows:
- the passing of the deadline for tenders for HPCDS contracts on 11 December 2017

This is earlier than we stated in the Information For Applicants. However, we did say that if we could conclude the assessment earlier then we would notify applicants as soon as possible. This was set out in our tender update of 28 February 2018.
We will use the e-Tendering system from 3 May 2018 to start notifying organisations shortlisted for the next stage of the tender process back in January.
There are 4 scheme areas where the assessment process is ongoing and we will not be notifying the outcomes at this time. Applicants in the affected areas have been contacted to confirm this and will be notified of the outcome as soon as possible.
With the exception of these scheme areas, we expect notification to have been completed by Tuesday 8 May 2018. Applicants who have bid for HPCDS contracts and have not been notified by Wednesday 9 May should contact us through the e-Tendering message board.
Services under new HPCDS contracts will begin on 1 October 2018. Each contract will initially run until 30 September 2021, with an option for LAA to extend for up to a further 2 years.
Following notifications, LAA will work with successful organisations to complete the verification process described in the letter of notification through the Bravo system. However, organisations are reminded that contract awards are conditional on satisfactory bid verifications. Each applicant is responsible for providing all the necessary evidence they meet the verification requirements as out in the notification letter.

5 February 2018 - Update on the procurement process for CLA education and discrimination services
The procurement process for CLA education and discrimination services from 1 September 2018 has been cancelled. This decision was taken following receipt of insufficient compliant tenders. The procurement process would not have resulted in the award of the intended number of CLA contracts to provide education and discrimination services. We will formally write to each affected organisation using the e-Tendering system from 5 February 2018, advising them of this cancellation and to open discussions on next steps.
30 January 2018 - Next steps in 2018 HPCDS contracts tender process.
We are contacting organisations from 30 January 2018 with updates and guidance on next steps about their bids for 2018 HPCDS contracts work.
Following the closure of tenders for HPCDS contracts on 11 December 2017, the Legal Aid Agency (LAA) will now advise those organisations that:
- bid for a HPCDS contract but failed to reach the minimum threshold to be given further consideration;
- have not been shortlisted for a HPCDS contract;
- have been shortlisted for a HPCDS contract.
We will formally write to each affected organisation using the e-Tendering system, advising them of the status of their tenders, from 30 January 2018.
We anticipate that all notifications will have been sent out by Thursday 1 February 2018.
Applicants bidding for HPCDS contracts who have not been notified by 1 February should contact us through the e-Tendering message board.
1 December 2017 - Publication of a notice to extend the deadline for the HPCDS Tender to 11 December 2017
Applicants are notified that the LAA has elected to clarify that the number of Sessions as defined in the Information for Applicants and contained in the Scheme Area Guides has been calculated using the data reported by the current provider(s) of HPCDS work in each court. The LAA has used this provider data to identify the unique number of sessions (morning, afternoon or all-day as set out in the 2013 Standard Civil Contract) undertaken to provide a total annual figure for each court. For these purposes a Session does not equate to a court room or list. Scheme Area Guides also provide the individual volume of cases undertaken at each court. The LAA gives no guarantees or warranties regarding the accuracy of any information or regarding the actual volume or value of any HPCDS work during the contract period.
In light of the proximity of this clarification to the tender deadline, the deadline has been extended to 5pm Monday 11 December.
This notice and amended version of the IFA can be found in the documents section above.

The tender will be open for 8 weeks, closing in November.
We expect to notify bidders of the outcome of successful:
- face to face tenders in March 2018
- CLA tenders in May 2018
HPCDS timetable
The tender process for HPCDS contracts will follow on from a number of market engagement events which will run in August and September. Dates and locations will be confirmed shortly.

We have reviewed and revised our planned start date for the procurement process for new Civil Legal Advice and civil face to face legal aid contracts and this will now open in May 2017. We plan to use a single stage process i.e. running the SQ and ITT stages at the same time: These will cover:
- testing organisational suitability to hold a contract (SQ)
- organisations tendering to category-specific services (ITT)
This approach differs from the one originally outlined in the Headline Intentions documents for civil and family mediation services which we published on GOV.UK. At that time we were considering running a two stage process for the SQ and ITT elements and starting the procurement process a little earlier in April 2017.
We will publish further information in due course giving further details on the new timetable for the procurement.
