Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Funding Council initiated an open tender for the "SFC Legal Tender Framework", which aims to secure legal services related to its funding of colleges and universities as well as its internal functions. The procurement process is currently active, with a total estimated value of £110,000. The tender period concluded on 31 October 2019, and the awarded contracts are expected to remain effective from 1 January 2020 until 31 December 2023. The buyer is located at Apex 2, 97 Haymarket Terrace, Edinburgh, UK, and caters to the education sector.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for legal firms, particularly those specialising in education law, regulatory compliance, and corporate governance. Businesses with experience in delivering legal services in the public sector, particularly those that can navigate the unique requirements of non-departmental public bodies like the Scottish Funding Council, would be well-suited to engage in this process. Additionally, there may be scope for firms willing to provide training and briefings on relevant legal matters, including GDPR and other regulatory obligations.
