Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the LBLA Legal Services Framework (2021-2025), initiated by the London Boroughs' Legal Alliance, with Westminster City Council acting as the contracting authority. This framework aims to appoint several legal advisers to provide a range of legal services across various London boroughs. The procurement is currently at the planning stage, with the framework expected to run from 6th November 2021 to 5th November 2025, including an option for a one-year extension. The total anticipated contract value is £16 million. Delivery will primarily occur in London and the South East region, with two lots focusing on legal advisory services related to regeneration and a full range of legal services, including litigation and local government work.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for law firms and legal service providers, particularly those proficient in regeneration-related legal services and comprehensive local government legal matters. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to compete, as a maximum of eight economic operators will be appointed for each lot, which fosters a competitive environment. By participating, eligible businesses can secure long-term contracts with multiple local authorities, enhancing their visibility and expanding their client base within the public sector.
