## Summary

The procurement process involves Nottinghamshire County Council, which is acting as the buying organisation for a tender titled "EM DevCo - Legal Support Services." This initiative falls under the legal services industry category and is located in the East Midlands region of England. The procurement is currently at the Award stage, with the contract commencing on 1st July 2022 and running for two years until 1st July 2024. The process utilised for this tender was a further competition through the CCS framework, specifically under WPS Legal Services RM3788, with a total contract value of £300,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for legal firms, particularly those with experience in providing support to large and complex development projects. Businesses that specialise in legal services and have a proven track record in similar sectors would be well-suited to compete for future contracts. As EM DevCo continues to develop regional infrastructure and resources, there may be further tenders for various services, enabling legal firms to expand their portfolio and engage with transformative projects in the East Midlands.

## Notice

Further Competition via CCS framework - WPS Legal Services RM3788 East Midlands Development Corporation (EM DevCo) programme is a ground-breaking initiative that will bring transformational development and infrastructure to an entire region. It emerged out of the East Midlands HS2 Growth Strategy published in September 2017 as a delivery vehicle to maximise the benefits for scalable development and infrastructure investment for the East Midlands region. EM DevCo is a company limited by guarantee owned by 5 member local authorities including Nottinghamshire County Council (host); Leicestershire County Council, Broxtowe Borough Council, Rushcliffe Borough Council and North West Leicestershire District Council. As an interim vehicle, EM DevCo was established and anticipated to exist in its current state, until any successor statutory development corporation is brought into effect, and this was anticipated to take up to three years at company's inception in 2021. The services outlined in this scope of works will be procured for the duration of the life of the company as a call-off arrangement with appropriate review points and notice periods to be subject to contract. As EM DevCo enters its second year with the benefit of additional resources from the UK Government, the company needs to appoint a legal team for the duration of the interim vehicle prior to the establishment of the statutory development corporation ("EMDC") to support in four key areas.
