Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Haringey, part of the larger London Boroughs’ Legal Alliance (LBLA), is leading a procurement process for a Legal Services Framework titled "LBLA Legal Services Framework". This aims to appoint multiple legal advisers to enhance service delivery, achieve value for money, and manage outsourced legal matters efficiently. The procurement engages an open procedure, covering legal services across several sectors including regeneration, housing management, property and planning, and employment. This initiative involves various London boroughs and a selection of local authorities in Greater London and South-East England. The procurement stage is complete, with contracts being signed as of 5 January 2026. The framework agreement’s initial period runs from 8 January 2026 to 7 January 2029, with a possibility of extension for up to twelve more months.

For businesses in the legal sector looking to expand, this framework presents significant opportunities for growth, as it covers a substantial region including Greater London and South-East England. The framework is ideal for well-established legal firms capable of offering a comprehensive range of services, as well as those specialising in niche legal areas like regeneration or housing management. Participation fees are involved, equating to 4% of the award amount, encouraging competitive bids that offer quality service. Large firms such as Anthony Collins Solicitors, Ashfords LLP, and Bevan Brittan LLP are already engaged, indicating the rigorous standards expected. Successful tenderers will have access to serve multiple authorities, reflecting their diverse expertise and capacity for strategic partnerships and long-term engagements.

The framework agreement will also be available to other local authorities within Greater London and South-East England (Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, East Sussex, Essex, Hampshire, Hertfordshire, the Isle of Wight, Kent, Oxfordshire, Surrey and West Page 3 to 27 Sussex), whether or not they are a member of the LBLA. Tenderers have been able to submit bids for one or more Lots, in accordance with their expertise and service offering. The Authority reserves the right to award one or more lots to the same Tenderer. On 16th September 2025, Haringey Council ('the Council') provided all bidders with their relevant Assessment Summaries. On 16th September 2025, the Council also published the relevant Contract Award Notice in accordance with Section 50 of the Procurement Act 2023. Publication of the notice initiated a standstill period of eight working days, in accordance with Section 51 of the Procurement Act 2023. The standstill period was due to conclude at midnight on Monday 27th October 2025. Following receipt of a request for further information from one of the bidders (\"the bidder\") prior to midnight on Monday 27th October 2025, the Council sent a message to all bidders on Monday 27th October 2025 stating that: \"Please note that the Council has received bidder correspondence, and that in order to review and respond substantively to this correspondence the current standstill period has been suspended. A new date for the extended standstill period will be confirmed in due course.\" On Monday 3rd November 2025, the Council responded substantively to the request for further information from the bidder. The Council sent a message to all bidders on 3rd November 2025 stating that: \"Please note that the Council has asked the Cabinet Office to publish an amendment to the Contract Award Notice (ref: 2025/S 000-065849) confirming an extension to the standstill period to midnight on Monday 10th November 2025. The Authority will therefore not enter into the proposed Framework Agreements before Tuesday 11th November 2025.\" In the interests of transparency regarding the Contract Award Notice and the applicable standstill period, in line with Regulation 5 of the Procurement Regulations 2024, the Council has elected to amend the Procurement Description within the existing Contract Award Notice as above.",
