## Summary

The procurement process initiated by WANDLE HOUSING ASSOCIATION LIMITED involves the provision of Barrister Services aimed at addressing specialisms required for defending civil and criminal proceedings related to housing disrepair, EPAs, and private nuisance claims. This procurement falls under the industry category of Business Services encompassing law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security. The geographical focus is England, United Kingdom, with a contract period commencing on 3rd February 2025 and ending on 2nd February 2027. The tender underwent a competitive quotation process, categorised under a 'limited' procurement method, and has reached the award stage, with the award being active since 11th January 2025. The contract's minimum and total value are set at £50,000 and £100,000 respectively.

The award to Ashley Taylors Legal Ltd creates substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in legal services, particularly those equipped to handle litigation and housing-related cases. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are especially well-suited to compete for contracts such as this, given the project's size and scope. Companies with a strong track record in law services and immediate availability to engage in active and future litigation would benefit significantly from participating in such procurement processes, fostering their growth within the public sector legal service market.

## Notice

This Exception is for specialisms required to robustly defend civil and criminal proceedings brought against Wandle in respect of housing disrepair, EPAs and claims for private nuisance. This is in relation to live and future litigation cases and so requires immediate services to defend Wandle's interests.
