The LAA intends to award 1 additional PSTA Contract. This procurement process is designed to evaluate an applicant’s suitability to contract with us and will procure the Police Station Telephone Advice Contract 2020. This opportunity opens on 30.1.2020. The deadline for submitting tenders is 9 a.m. on 2.3.2020. You must read the Information for Applicants (‘IFA’) for this procurement process before submitting your tender. ` The Legal Aid Agency (LAA) is inviting Applicants who meet the minimum tender requirements to submit a Tender for a Police Station Telephone Advice Contract 2020 (‘PSTA Contract’ or ‘Contract’) to deliver CDD Services for 12 months from 1.6.2020 to 31.5.2021. The LAA requires 2 CDD providers. There is currently one CDD provider as the second has left the market and as a result the LAA has decided to procure a Contract with another provider to undertake part of the CDD Service as set out in this CDD Procurement Process. Applicants wishing to deliver the CDD Service under a PSTA Contract must submit a tender consisting of: (i) a single selection questionnaire (‘SQ’) response; and (ii) a response to the CDD ITT. All applicants must submit a response to the SQ, regardless of whether they have previously submitted an SQ Response as part of any previous procurement process. A complete tender must be submitted. This must be detailed enough (in the LAA’s opinion) to allow the LAA to make an informed selection of the most economically advantageous tender. The available points are split across quality (equating to 40 % of the total points available) and price (60 % of the total points available).
