Description

The purpose of this application is to secure criminal barrister chambers and/or barristers from the Attorney General's Panel to act on behalf of the SIA in criminal proceedings at both the Magistrates Court and Crown Courts.

The demand for the various matters will vary dependent on the volume of work, whether it can be covered in-house and whether it attracts levels of sensitivity and/or complexity which will require the instruction of Counsel.

The SIA undertakes work across the whole of England so Counsel will be required in both London and regional areas to be able to cover such work if instructed and/or be willing to travel.

The specifics of the requirements are detailed below including explicit outputs and inclusive deliverables and include:

(a) Written Advices to be completed in a timely manner.

(b) Hold case conferences with instructing agents as and when required.

(c) Representing the SIA throughout all proceedings; and

(d) Occasional virtual training events (common topics include POCA, IPA and criminal law updates).

Tenderers will be required to meet the scope, in full, to be eligible for award. It is intended that the award will be made to multiple suppliers.

Tenders will be published via the Home Office eSourcing Portal - https://homeoffice.app.jaggaer.com/web/login.html
