The procurement, classified under legal services (CPV code 79100000), operates through an open procedure, with the tender period closing on 2nd July 2019. The framework is set to commence in August/September 2019, with an initial term of three years, and a total estimated value of £9,000,000. Interested parties must register on the Yortender portal to access the tender documentation.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses, especially barristers and legal service providers, to engage with multiple local authorities. Firms that are experienced in delivering high-quality legal services at competitive prices, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), would be well-suited to submit proposals. As services will be available exclusively to the participating local authorities, successful bidders could establish long-term relationships and contracts, fostering business growth in the legal services sector within the Yorkshire and the Humber region.
