Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Newlon Housing Trust as the buying organisation, which is seeking to appoint a panel of solicitors under the "HALA Legal Services Framework." This framework caters to the legal services industry within the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement stage is currently at the award phase, with the final award date noted as 9th July 2018. The contract has a total value of £6.4 million and spans from 1st September 2018 to 31st August 2022. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, allowing broad participation.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for law firms, particularly those specialising in legal services and aiming to engage with public sector clients. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to compete, as the framework was designed with their involvement in mind, allowing them to leverage a collective annual spend of approximately £1.6 million from member housing associations. Firms that are agile and can provide tailored legal solutions would be particularly well-suited for this opportunity.
