Legal Aid Agency
We will soon be issuing new civil contract schedules beginning on 1 September 2022.
These will replace the current fourth year schedules for the 2018 Standard Civil Contract which are ending on 31 August 2022. All schedules will run for 12 months.
Where to find new schedules
You will be able to view schedules, including Immigration Removal Centre (IRC) schedules, in Contracted Work and Administration (CWA) from no later than 31 July 2022.
Reporting work
Work completed in September can be reported from 1 October 2022.
Matter start allocations
In most cases, matter starts will be allocated on the basis of the allocation bid for in the original tender.
Where you have self-granted an additional 50 per cent of matter starts, you will receive this increased allocation.
This includes an allocation of an additional 20 miscellaneous matter starts to advise victims of human trafficking/modern slavery on compensation claims where a provider bid for these in the original tender.
Providers will be able self-grant a further 50 per cent of matter starts in the fourth year of the contract.
