Supply of Legal Services 2
Notice Description
The purpose of this framework is to establish a panel of qualified legal service providers to deliver a comprehensive range of legal services to public sector bodies. The framework will provide a compliant, efficient, and cost-effective route to procure legal expertise across multiple specialisms.
Planning Information
The purpose of this engagement is to: Understand whether the market can meet our requirements and identify any constraints or opportunities. Gather supplier feedback to ensure specifications are realistic, achievable, and aligned with industry standards. Use insights to determine the most appropriate route to market, framework structure, and commercial model. Provide early visibility of the opportunity to a broad supplier base, supporting fair and open competition. Identify potential risks and innovative solutions early, reducing the likelihood of delays or poor delivery post-award. By engaging with the market at an early stage, we will improve the quality of our tender documents, attract a wider pool of capable suppliers, and ultimately deliver better value for money and service outcomes.
