## Summary

Breckland District Council and South Holland District Council is seeking legal services for their Project Avocet through an open tender process. The procurement, classified under the CPV code for legal services, is currently at the award stage, having been completed on 21st January 2022. The contract period commenced on 16th January 2022 and will run until 15th January 2023, with a total contract value of £100,000. Interested legal firms should note that the tender process concluded on 17th December 2021, and the primary delivery location is in Norfolk, East of England.

This opportunity is well-suited for legal firms looking to expand their business, particularly those with experience in property law and public sector contracts. Companies that can navigate framework agreements and long-term leasing arrangements would have a competitive edge in this tender. Given the council's requirement for an adviser to support their property management and refurbishment project, firms with a proven track record in similar legal advisory roles will find this opportunity advantageous for establishing a long-term partnership with a local government entity.

## Notice

Breckland Council (BC) is considering a proposal from a potential partner (Company A) with a commercial proposition to enter into a framework agreement whereby Company A identify, acquire and refurbish c300 residential properties over a maximum 3-year period, which are then let to the Council on a long, inflation-linked lease (3 x 20 year lease periods, 60 years in total) with initial rent at a discount to Local Housing Allowance rates. The council will then manage the properties, being responsible for ongoing lettings and repairs and receiving all rents. BC is seeking a legal adviser to act for the council in the above scenario
