The Civil Re-opening: 2024 Standard Civil Contract Procurement Process will remain open during the term of the 2024 Contract so that new entrants can apply for a contract at any time.

Tenders can be submitted across all Categories of Law and the procurement will remain open during the term of the 2024 Contract so that new entrants can apply for a contract at any time. The LAA intends to award contracts under this process to commence as soon as possible after the verification process is complete.

This provides a more flexible approach removing hard deadlines. It also supports our commitments to doing all we can to enable suitably qualified providers to offer legal aid funded services.
