## Summary

Torus62 Limited is initiating a tender process for the "Prior Information Notice - Torus Legal Services Framework", aimed at the legal services industry. Located in Liverpool, Merseyside, this procurement is currently in the planning stage, with the tender period concluding on 16th October 2020. The formal procurement exercise is expected to commence in November 2020, following market engagement to assess the most attractive packaging and scoping of the framework. The procurement method is open, compliant with the open procedure above threshold, hinting at significant opportunities in the legal sector.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in legal services to engage with Torus62 Limited, enhancing their visibility and potential to secure contracts within the public sector. As the organisation is actively seeking market input prior to finalising their framework, businesses equipped with innovative legal service offerings, particularly those adept in collaborative frameworks or public sector contracts, would be particularly well-suited to compete and expand their operations through this procurement opportunity.

## Notice

Torus seeks input from the market as to what might be the most potentially attractive way of packaging and scoping a future procurement opportunity for a Legal Services Framework.. Torus is at an early stage in the development of its proposals and is testing the market prior to formulating any formal procurement opportunity. It is anticipated that the framework for Legal Services will be procured in November 2020. For the avoidance of doubt, this notice is for the purpose of conducting a soft market testing exercise only, and will not formally begin the procurement or constitute any commitment by Torus to undertake any procurement exercise.
