The services are to be supplied for 2 years with the option to extend for a further 2 periods of 12 months each, a break clause will be enforced after each year to assess and review performance. This tender opportunity is open to law firms who have the capability to provide such services, covering three jurisdictions; England and Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland.
