Preferred Supplier Scheme

The LSC launched a 12-week consultation on its proposals for a national Preferred Supplier scheme on 20 March 2006 which will run until 12 June 2006.

The consultation paper is available from the Related Documents menu on the right hand side of this page. All organisations currently holding a legal aid contract will receive a copy by post.

Responses are welcome from individual practitioners as well as professional bodies. Please send responses by email, post or fax at the earliest opportunity to:

If you email your response to us, which we would encourage, please put the words ‘Consultation response’ in the subject heading of the email.

Please send your consultation response once only as this will make it easier for us to compile and monitor responses. We will acknowledge receipt of all responses by post or email within a week.

A series of consultation events will be held across England and Wales throughout the consultation period. For further details of these events and for further information on the proposed scheme, please visit the Preferred Supplier pages on this site.

For general enquiries about the consultation, email the Preferred Supplier team.
