The tender is currently in the active stage and must be submitted by 16 October 2019. The estimated contract value ranges from £50,000 to £100,000 per annum, with the contract period starting on 18 December 2019 and lasting for an initial term of two years, with potential annual extensions up to a total of five years. Eligible firms will be required to provide legal advisory services primarily in relation to construction projects and leases for commercial tenants, with all deliveries overseen from Lancaster, United Kingdom. This opportunity presents a meaningful chance for legal firms, particularly those specialising in construction and estate management, to expand their client base and service offerings. Businesses adept in legal advisory and contract management would be well-suited to compete for this contract, as Lancaster University seeks to establish a single supplier framework for ongoing legal support rather than a one-off project. This framework could lead to extended partnerships and recurring business opportunities for the selected provider. ## Notice Lancaster University intends to appoint a provider of legal services to support its Facilities Team. This shall include, but is not limited to, putting in place contracts (mainly JCT) for construction projects and related ad-hoc legal advice. The University also requires assistance in creating and executing leases for its commercial tenants. Value: circa PS50,000 to PS100,000 per annum Term 2 years initial plus annual extensions up to a maximum of 5 years Please note that this procurement exercise is to establish a single supplier framework from which we can call off. It is not for one specific piece of work.
