Description
1. The Scottish Government is seeking information to inform a potential procurement exercise for the delivery of a new legal service known as “Independent Legal Representation” (ILR) for certain complainers in sexual offence cases as a result of reforms in the Victims, Witnesses, and Justice Reform (Scotland) Act 2025.
2. This will build on previous and continuing work by the Scottish Government to develop the ILR service. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to further test planning assumptions and create an opportunity to gather information from the market not otherwise available to Government. We intend responses to support future decision-making around the procurement process and service delivery.
3. Please find attached a Request for Information (RFI), which provides further details regarding this requirement.
