Application Package for 2024-2027 Preferred Supplier Agreement

The application package for the 2024-2027 preferred supplier agreement is now available on our website.

The current Legal Aid Queensland preferred supplier agreement will expire on 31 July 2024 and the new agreement will commence on 1 August 2024. Existing firms that want to continue as a preferred supplier after this date will need to reapply for inclusion as a preferred supplier. Application for inclusion on the preferred supplier panel is also open to new firms.

There are two application packages, depending on whether you are an existing preferred supplier or a firm that does not have a current preferred supplier agreement:

1. Existing preferred supplier renewal application

An existing preferred supplier has a 2021-2024 preferred supplier agreement. This agreement expires on 31 July 2024. Existing firms that want to continue as a preferred supplier after this date will need to reapply for inclusion.

Existing preferred suppliers must complete:

• An applicant checklist - existing firms

  This checklist is in lieu of a written response to the application guidelines.
  If additional information and/or documentation is needed as stated in the checklist, please provide that in a separate document.

• an application coversheet
• the entire preferred supplier agreement, with signature page completed
• an agreement regarding recipient tax invoices (if bank details need to be updated).

We have made some changes to the preferred supplier agreement and these are outlined in the Schedule of Changes.

Email your completed application to psupp.coordinator@legalaid.qld.gov.au by close of business on Wednesday 17 July 2024.

2. New preferred supplier application

New firms wanting to become preferred suppliers (or existing preferred suppliers wanting to add a new office location) must complete:

• an application coversheet
• an agreement regarding recipient created tax invoices
• the entire preferred supplier agreement, with signature page completed
• a written response (including documentation) to each of the selection criteria set out in the application guidelines for each preferred supplier list.

There is no closing date for new preferred supplier applications.

Email your completed application to psupp.coordinator@legalaid.qld.gov.au

We will let all applicants know of their application’s outcome once we have made a decision.
