## Summary

The procurement process involves Wolverhampton City Council seeking legal advice for their £132 million Interchange Programme. The tender, titled "Interchange Legal Advice," relates to contracts involving Network Rail, Train Operating Companies, and various funding partners. The procurement was executed through a direct award method, with an awarded contract value of £100,000. The procurement stage has now completed, with the contract period starting from December 1, 2016, to November 30, 2018. The locality for contract delivery is West Midlands, England, and the tender period concluded on November 30, 2016.

This tender represents an opportunity for law firms, particularly those specialising in transport and public sector contracts, to engage with a significant infrastructural project in the West Midlands. Companies with expertise in legal consultancy for major public works, particularly in asset protection agreements and contractual negotiations, would be well-placed to participate in similar tenders. With the involvement of prominent organisations like Shoosmiths LLP already evident, there remains potential for other firms to tap into future contractual opportunities that arise from ongoing developments in public infrastructure projects.

## Notice

Wolverhampton City Council requires legal advice for the PS132m Interchange Programme in dealing with contracts between the Council and Network Rail, as well as between the Council and Train Operating Companies/Station Franchise Owners and between the Council and its developer and funding partners (such as West Midlands Combined Authority/Transport for West Midlands). The legal remits also extend to include Asset Protection Agreements, Major Change Programmes and Partition Deeds in order to sanction any work carried out on Network Rail land.
