Notice Title

Legal Services Framework Agreement (P17-0010)

Notice Description

Legal Services framework agreement for Scottish Enterprise, Highlands & Islands Enterprise, and their respective subsidiary and associated companies and undertakings, and public bodies sharing complementary economic development and/or training objectives. The framework is anticipated to commence in December 2016 and will have a duration of 4 years.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The purpose of this tender is to appoint a number of suppliers, each operating under a framework, to provide legal services to Scottish Enterprise ("SE"), Highlands and Islands Enterprise ("HIE") and their respective subsidiary and associated companies and undertakings, and public bodies sharing complementary economic development and/or training objectives (together, the "Purchasers"). Each supplier so appointed will be eligible to perform or bid for individual contracts awarded under this framework. The number of suppliers to be appointed will be 2, 3 or 4. A final decision will depend on the quality of tenders received and the extent to which the suppliers selected are capable of covering the range of services that may be required. The Purchasers are not dividing the framework into lots as this would make the framework more challenging to manage. The Purchasers believe that greater value for money and efficiency can be achieved without the use of lots.. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.
