## Summary

Devon County Council is conducting a procurement process titled "CP1518-17 Conveyancing Services" aimed at formalising the arrangement and monitoring of various agreements for developers and landowners, including key legal agreements such as Section 38 and Section 106. This tender process, initially announced on February 2, 2018, is currently in the Award stage after closing on January 22, 2018. The overall contract duration spans from February 5, 2018, to February 4, 2019, with a total contract value of £100,000. The procurement employed a selective method under a restricted procedure, with the services classified under Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security, primarily located in the South West of England.

This tender provides significant opportunities for both small and large legal firms that specialise in conveyancing and associated legal services. Companies with experience in handling public sector contracts and familiarity with VAT obligations will be particularly well-suited to compete for this work. As Devon County Council anticipates between 100 and 200 agreements over the contract duration, businesses that can efficiently manage high volumes of legal transactions may find this a valuable opportunity for growth and expansion within their operational portfolio.

## Notice

Devon County Councils (DCC) conveyancing department are seeking to formalise the arranging and monitoring of numerous agreements that are requested by Developer's and land owners. These agreements include Section 38, Section 106, Section 278 agreements and a Deed of Easement in relation to a Section 38 Agreement. The volume of agreements during the 12-month period is expected to be between 100 and 200 although this may vary depending upon the workload of the department. DCC do not pay for any of the agreements as they are paid for by the developer or land owners. The critical element for DCC is that the applicable amount of VAT is paid on each invoice. This is monitored by requesting copies of all invoices for completed works being supplied to the conveyancing department on a regular basis to ensure that the authority is not liable for any outstanding duties in regard to the transactions completed.
