## Summary

Leeds City Council is seeking legal expertise for handling disputes related to incomplete Section 38/S278 schemes in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom. The procurement process, which is currently in the award stage, involves a contract valued at £120,000 and is classified under the CPV code for legal advisory and representation services. The tender process used a selective procurement method and was conducted via a restricted procedure, with the tender period concluding on 22 April 2021 and the contract period running from 21 June 2021 to 12 April 2023.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for law firms specialising in public sector contracts, specifically those with experience in highway law and dispute resolution.
