This procurement falls under the legal services category and is aimed at selecting suppliers capable of providing practical legal advice to members of the Consortium of Housing Providers (CHIC), which manages approximately 500,000 properties across England and Wales. The tender, initiated on 1st October 2018, concluded on the same date, while the award was published on 22nd October 2018. The contract period is set from 12th October 2018 to 11th October 2022, and the procurement method employed was selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement. This tender presents significant opportunities for legal firms specialising in commercial and practical advice, particularly those experienced in serving the housing sector. Businesses that can demonstrate efficiency in legal service management and a track record of reducing legal expenditures for clients will be well-suited to compete for this framework. Given the scale of CHIC's membership and its collaborative procurement strategy with Re: Allies, successful bidders may expand their portfolios while securing ongoing contracts within a broad network of housing providers across England and Wales. ## Notice Legal services.
