Tender process for Social Welfare Law and Family 2010 contracts now open

The current Unified Contract (Civil), under which work in the Social Welfare Law and Family categories is carried out, will expire on 13 October 2010.

In order to start work in these categories from 14 October 2010 organisations need to have successfully bid for a new contract (the 2010 Standard Civil Contract).

The tender process for this opened on 26 February 2010. The deadline for submitting tenders is 12 noon on 21 April 2010.

Full details on the tender process and how to apply can be found in the Information for Applicants which is available in the documents panel on the right hand side of this page.

All tenders for new contracts must be submitted through the LSC's secure eTendering system, which can be accessed through the eTendering portal. If this is your first visit to the eTendering site, you will need to register your organisation's details to be able to use the system - you will then be provided with a username and password.

Also in the documents panel on the right is a guidance document which gives additional guidance on completing the Tender Form and how to solve some common technical difficulties you may have concerning Macros.

Further details of the terms and specification of the new contract can be found on the 2010 Standard Civil Contract page.

Background information- Procurement Plans

We published updated procurement plans for Family and Social Welfare Law services in early February, setting out the services we intended to procure in each area. However, a small number of plans have subsequently been revised to take account of detail changes. The affected plans can be identified by the word 'REVISED' in their title and we advise organisations that they should check the procurement plans incase of any changes that may affect them. These plans do NOT form part of the formal tender documentation.

The procurement plan for Family Mediation can be found on the documents panel on the right hand side of this page.
