This initiative is part of a collaborative effort involving multiple London boroughs, which collectively spend approximately £2.1 million annually on external legal services. The open tender process is currently in progress, with submissions due by 4 August 2017. The agreement is set to cover legal services classified under CPV code 79100000 and is intended for use by local authorities in Greater London and South-East England. The contract period will commence on 1 November 2017 and run until 31 October 2020, with a potential extension of one year. This tender presents substantial opportunities for legal service providers, particularly those equipped to deliver high-quality, cost-effective legal advisory services across two distinct Lots: Regeneration and a Full Range of Legal Services. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate in this tender, allowing them to engage with multiple local authorities, thus expanding their market presence and enhancing their reputation within the public sector. Companies that specialise in legal services and have experience working with local government clients will find themselves well-positioned to compete for this contract. ## Notice The London Boroughs' Legal Alliance (the "LBLA"), comprised of the London Boroughs of Barnet, Brent, Camden, Ealing, Greenwich, Hackney, Hammersmith & Fulham, Haringey, Harrow, Havering, Hillingdon, Hounslow, Islington, Newham, Redbridge, Waltham Forest, the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea, the City of London Corporation, Westminster City Council and the London Fire and Planning Authority "the Authorities".
