About LSC Update

LSC Update is an email that contains the latest news from the LSC. A typical update briefs readers on:

process changes
LSC Online updates
consultation launches and responses
invitations to tender
contract guidance and notices
forms guidance and code changes

We send LSC Update to subscribers once a fortnight on a Thursday. We sometimes send ad-hoc LSC Update extras.

View latest LSC Updates

LSC Update is available in two formats: HTML (graphical) and text only. They are sent in HTML by default, but if you have an older email system or a strict firewall you may see a text only version.

If you receive the HTML version, but have problems viewing its contents use the link at the top of the email.

You can choose to always receive a text only version by contacting the web team.
