The procurement falls under the legal services category and is based in London, United Kingdom. This tender for HR and Employment Legal Services by OFCOM presents an opportunity for legal service providers with expertise in employment law. Businesses specialised in providing HR legal advice, employment law support, policy development, and diversity & inclusion consultancy would be well-suited to bid for this contract. With a contract duration of up to 5 years and a significant contract value of 400,000 GBP, this opportunity can support the growth and development of legal service providers catering to the HR and employment sector. ## Notice Provision of HR and employment legal services Ofcom is tendering for UK Employment Law advice and legal services for up to the next five years. The duration of the contract is 3 years, subject to the right of Ofcom (at its sole discretion) to exercise its right to extend the Contract by up to 2 periods of twelve months each. The maximum length of the contract is therefore 5 years. It is expected that the contract will commence around April / May 2023.

We intend to enter a framework agreement with up to three providers. The requirements are likely to cover the following services: A. Simple to complex ER cases, including possible tribunal and/or settlement agreement support. This is likely to cover legal advice, on an on-call and adhoc basis to support with employment law issues, sensitive, complex and, on occasion, rapidly escalating ER cases, up to possible Employment Tribunal and Employment Appeal Tribunal. B. Strategic advice to Ofcom People and Transformation Director and senior HR team. C. Policy development, ad hoc basis, employment law advice on policy review and development, including possibly on occasion the drafting from scratch, or reviewing prior drafts of polies covering an array of employee relations topics.
