UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Castles and Coasts Housing Association is seeking legal services for land and development work through a framework. The procurement replaces the land and development lot of its previous legal services framework and uses a revised pricing approach. The work is classified as legal services and is intended to support the association’s land and development activity. Delivery is specified across the United Kingdom. The framework is divided into one lot covering this requirement.

The buyer invited tenders through an open procedure. The deadline for questions was 17 November 2026 at 12 noon, and the submission deadline was 24 November 2026 at 12 noon. The contract is scheduled to run from 18 January 2027 to 17 January 2030, with an option to extend for a further 12 months. The estimated value is £650,000 excluding VAT (£780,000 including VAT). Bids are assessed on quality and price: quality questionnaire responses and the completed pricing schedule are evaluated using the criteria, weightings and methodology in the Invitation to Tender.

This framework suits legal services providers with experience relevant to land and development work for a housing association. Small and medium-sized businesses, as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises, are identified as suitable suppliers. The buyer will assess both the quality of suppliers’ responses and their pricing, so bidders need to address the quality questions and provide a completed pricing schedule in line with the Invitation to Tender. The requirement is for a framework arrangement rather than a single specified legal matter; suppliers should consider whether they can support the association’s land and development legal needs over the framework term.
