About this invitation to tender
In July 2008 the Legal Services Commission invited tenders for the provision of General Family Services and Specialist Family Services in the Basingstoke and Deane borough council area.
Following that tender the LSC still has ‘Matter Starts’ (see below) available in the Basingstoke and Deane borough council area to deliver General Family Services and/or Specialist Family Services.
We are inviting tenders to deliver the following face-to-face advice services:
- General Family Services
Providers will need to have and run their own permanent office within the Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council area for delivery of the service and be able to provide the full range of services in the Family category of law and across the levels of service from Legal Help to Licensed work.
- Specialist Family Domestic Abuse and Public Law Children
Providers will need to have and run their own permanent office within the Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council area for delivery of the service and need to demonstrate that at least one of their advisers has expertise in Public Law Children and/or Domestic Abuse. In addition the organisation must be able to deliver the full range of services in the Family category of law at all levels from Legal Help to Licensed work.
What are Matter Starts?
Matter starts are denoted by the opening of an individual Controlled Work matter for an advice service to be given to eligible clients. Successful applicants will be awarded a maximum number of Matter Starts in either General Family or Specialist Family or both if they have applied to deliver both services.
Who can apply?
This invitation is open to all existing Legal Aid providers (firms of solicitors, other commercial organisations and Not for Profit advice agencies) and to any new provider that wishes to conduct legal aid family work from their permanent office within the Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council area.
