The North Star Housing Group LTD is overseeing a procurement process for a framework to deliver legal services, with the contract titled "Legal Services - AWARD." The procurement falls under the legal services industry category and is based in the North East of England, specifically at their office in Stockton-on-Tees. The tender was completed with an award date of 13th December 2021, and the contract period is set to commence on 3rd January 2022 and conclude on 2nd January 2025. The procurement method utilised is an open procedure, and interested suppliers could submit proposals for specific areas, including Property Transactions, Housing Management, and Corporate matters, by the earlier deadline of 11th October 2021.
