The LSC have amended the Information for Applicants for the face to face civil tender. The selection criteria, in Annex A of the IFA, previously required a full time equivalent supervisor at each office from which you proposed to tender; now, that requirement is at organisation not office level, though you must still maintain the 1:4 ratio at each office. The revised version of the ITT can be
