## Summary

The Hertsmere Borough Council, represented by Supply Hertfordshire, is currently conducting an open procurement process for legal advisory services related to the Affordable Housing Programme. The tender, titled "HBC - Legal Advice: LLP," is aimed at appointing a qualified external legal provider to assist the Council in securing affordable residential accommodation. The tender period will close on 31st August 2018, with the contract expected to commence on 18th October 2018 and run until 1st June 2019. This opportunity falls under the legal services category, as classified by the CPV scheme.

This tender presents significant opportunities for law firms with expertise in housing and property law, particularly those familiar with public sector work and the constraints of providing services under public procurement regulations. Businesses that can demonstrate experience in advising on affordable housing initiatives or that possess a thorough understanding of the relevant legislative framework will be well positioned to compete for this contract. Given the Council's emphasis on social and affordable rents, legal experts in tenancy agreements and residential development will find this tender particularly relevant.

## Notice

Hertsmere Borough Council wishes to appoint an experienced and suitable qualified external legal provider to supply advice and transactional services to enable the Council to build or secure the building of affordable residential accommodation whether funded by developer contributions or out of the Council's own resources or a combination of both. Following the Haringey case (Peters v London Borough of Haringey [2018] EWHC 192 (Admin) the Council requires the accommodation to be leased to a Limited Liability Partnership of which the Council will be a member on terms that require the LLP to let the accommodation on assured tenancies at social and/or affordable rents to persons nominated by the Council from its Housing Waiting List.
