The LAA had previously said that the tender for duty work from 2015 would open by the end of July. As at close of business today, there was nothing on its website regarding the tender, though it has published draft contract documents. However, the Gazette's Catherine Baksi is reporting that the tender has been postponed until October. Crime duty contract tender will begin in October, @MoJGovUK has said today. It has published draft contract spec & guidance. — Catherine Baksi (@legalhackette) July 31, 2014
