## Summary

Greenfields Community Housing is currently facilitating a tender process for the "Legal Services framework GREEN0470”, aimed at securing legal service providers for a four-year framework commencing on 19th December 2018. The procurement is classified under the legal services category and will be open to members of the Procurement Alliance for Essex (PAE). The tender period closed on 21st November 2018, with a total estimated value of £2,000,000. Interested suppliers had to submit their proposals in compliance with the open procedure regulations. The delivery addresses for the contract are located in the East of England, United Kingdom.

This framework creates significant opportunities for legal firms, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) to provide specific legal services. Competing businesses can apply for one or more of the six LOTs outlined within the tender, which include areas such as Property, Development, and Employment law. While the framework allows members to access services without guarantee of business, winning a position on this framework can enhance visibility and attract potential clients within the public sector.
