## Summary

The contract value is GBP 200,000, and the contract period is from March 14, 2023, to March 13, 2025. The service falls under the main procurement category of services and is suitable for SMEs.

This tender for legal services presents an opportunity for businesses specializing in legal services, particularly those experienced in property lease negotiations and commercial conveyancing. The contract, awarded by The Insolvency Service, focuses on providing legal support for its Estates Team in managing its Business as Usual pipeline for the next three years, with potential for urgent attention to various lease events. Businesses with expertise in legal advisory services within the UK regions of England, Scotland, and Wales are well-suited to compete for this opportunity.

## Notice

The Agency's Estates Team requires the provision of legal services to support with its management of its Business as Usual (BAU) pipeline which includes but is not limited to, property lease and Memorandum of Terms of Occupation (MOTO) negotiations which will include review and amendment of documentation for new leases, review of existing leases or MOTO's, commercial conveyancing, etc. BAU Estates will be responsible for all lease and MOTO events for the agency and during the next three years, 2023 to 2026, which will include several lease events. Some of these events will need urgent attention owing to timescales involved when notice is served on the Agency by the Landlord or Lease Holder. BAU Estates, then, requires its own provision for legal advice to enable completion of events and prevent breach of agreements and incurring additional costs.
