Summary of the contracting process

The Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue Service has established a Legal Advice Service Framework aimed at providing essential legal support with a focus on pragmatic and business-oriented solutions. This framework, valued at approximately £55,000, is designed to cover a contract period from 23 January 2017 to 22 January 2021. The procurement concluded with the awarding of contracts on 16 January 2017, following a tender period which ended on 30 November 2016. The framework integrates various suppliers, including LGSS Law Ltd, Luton Borough Council Legal Services, Essex Legal Services, and Freeths LLP, to deliver valuable legal services across several delivery locations, including the UK and its territories.

This legal advice framework presents significant opportunities for law firms, particularly those with experience in corporate legal services. Businesses specialising in legal consultancy can leverage this opportunity to expand their client base by positioning themselves as viable contenders for future tenders or partnerships within this framework. Additionally, smaller and medium-sized enterprises with relevant expertise may find an advantageous niche to compete effectively, especially as the framework prioritises cost-effective solutions while maintaining high service standards within the legal services sector.
