Competitive Bidding for Grants and Contracts

The Corporation anticipates that Congress will adopt legislation requiring the Corporation to utilize a system of competitive bidding for the award of grants and contracts. This proposed rule is intended to implement such a system of competitive bidding for the award of grants and contracts for the delivery of legal services to eligible clients. The competitive bidding system would be structured so as to meet the primary purposes of the Legal Services Corporation Act as amended--to ensure the economical and effective delivery of high quality legal services to eligible clients and improve opportunities for low income persons. Competitive bidding is also intended to encourage recipients to improve their performance in delivering legal services.
