The following requirements are applicable to Wiltshire Council and Gloucestershire County Council where they choose to access one or more lots under the framework: Being selected as a party to the Framework Agreement does not guarantee the award of any individual contracts under the Agreement or any other business with either Council. The number of Chambers that will be requested to become party to the Framework Agreement will be capped at 5 per Lot. The fact that particular Chambers have previously provided legal services to either Council will, of itself, neither be an advantage nor a disadvantage in the current tender process. Chambers may be required to provide advice and/or representation in respect of all Lots which may include non-contentious or contentious matters including but not limited to judicial review. Chambers may also be required to: * Attend conferences (virtually or in person); * Provide telephone and/or written advice; * Attend case management hearings, pre-trial hearings and advocates meetings; * Prepare for and attend hearings. Preparation in this context means reviewing instructions and papers, preparation of documents such as skeleton arguments etc). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fe0fdade-5cf9-4372-8c9b-1e3ef63260b7 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Jan 2024 | | Submission deadline | 26 Feb 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 May 2024 - 31 May 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WILTSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | TROWBRIDGE | | Post town | Bath | | Postcode | BA14 8JN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK72 Wiltshire | | Local authority | Wiltshire | | Electoral ward | Trowbridge Central | | Westminster constituency | South West Wiltshire | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 66 - Financial and insurance services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 66513000 - Legal insurance and all-risk insurance services - 79000000 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ## Release History - 26 Jan 2024 at 16:36 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fe0fdade-5cf9-4372-8c9b-1e3ef63260b7 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fe0fdade-5cf9-4372-8c9b-1e3ef63260b7 26th January 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/ - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert/Index?advertId=d1e9f40e-58bc-ee11-8127-005056b64545 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
