## Description
The Legal Aid Agency (“LAA”) is inviting Tenders from Lot 1 (Citizen Experience) of Outsourced Services Framework (RM6295) for contracts to deliver the LAA Contact Centre Services which comprise the Defence Solicitor Call Centre (DSCC) and the Civil Legal Advice Operator Service (CLAOS).
The DSCC service manages the logging, identification and deployment of defence solicitors to provide free legal advice to clients detained in police custody in England and Wales.
