Consultation

The Preferred Supplier consultation 'Quality Relationships Delivering Quality Outcomes' was launched on 20 March 2006 and closed on 12 June 2006.

We received 117 responses from:

69 solicitor firms
24 not for profit agencies
15 representative bodies
9 'other'.

A summary of these responses is on the Preferred Supplier Scheme: response to consultation page.

As part of the consultation the LSC held a series of 55 events around the country. These were attended by over 50% of solicitor firms and over 70% of not for profit agencies. We received 855 feedback sheets from these events.

The original Preferred Supplier proposals were reviewed in light of both these consultation responses and other developments, including Lord Carter's Review and consultation on the Unified Contract.

'Quality Relationships Delivering Quality Outcomes. The Preferred Supplier Scheme: Response to Consultation' summarises the headine consultation responses and details how the consultation process has influenced the further development of the proposals to shape the final policy.

More detail on the entry process is on the Preferred Supplier homepage.
