## Summary

The procurement process is initiated by SE Shared Services on behalf of Brighton & Hove City Council, focusing on providing legal support for a charitable trust. The contract, titled "BHCC SW Legal Support for the Charitable Trust - AWARD," falls under the legal services category, classified under CPV code 79100000. The award date is 16th October 2017, and the contract runs from 9th October 2017 to 8th October 2018, following an open procurement method. The tender was completed as of 4th September 2017, marking the end of the tender period.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in legal advisory and representation services. With its focus on supporting charitable structures, firms with expertise in establishing trusts and drafting legal agreements will be positioned to compete effectively. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to engage with this contract, aligning with the buyer's interest in fostering diverse participation in the procurement process.

## Notice

The purpose of this Invitation to Tender ("ITT") is to obtain legal advisors to act for the charitable trust, to advise on setting up the trust and draft all the necessary agreements between the Council and the Trust. Whilst Brighton & Hove City Council ("the Council') will be the contracting party and will fund the provision of legal advice for the trust, the successful Bidder will be instructed to act on behalf of the trust. Prior to the formal establishment of the trust, the successful Bidder will take instructions from the shadow trustees who are appointed and the Head of Royal Pavilion & Museums (who will transfer to the trust under TUPE).
