About this contract

The Legal Services Board (LSB) oversees the regulation of legal services in England and Wales. As set out in our strategy for the sector, we have set an ambitious vision to reshape legal services to better meet the needs of society. We want to ensure that people who need legal services can get the support they need. However, we know that effective regulation is only part of the solution. We will only be successful if people across the profession collaborate to find solutions. The LSB are in the very early budget planning stages of organising an annual conference scheduled to take place around March 2025 in London. We are seeking a company that can manage the conference. It is a free hybrid event where we hope to attract 250+ in person attendees. We plan to invite a wide range of individuals with a role to play in improving legal services for the public and promoting access to justice, including lawyers and legal services practitioners, judges, charities, consumer organisations, politicians, think tanks, etc. The kind of support we are looking for is senior-level advice and expertise on designing the events, advice and support on marketing and promoting the event widely
