## Summary

The British Library is procuring legal advice services through an open procedure for a contract with a value of £500,000. The procurement stage is currently active, with the tender period ending on 11th April 2023. The contract period is set to begin on 1st June 2023 and end on 31st May 2025. This opportunity, suitable for SMEs, is located in London within the legal services industry category.

This tender by the British Library offers a chance for small or medium enterprises (SMEs) to participate in providing legal advice services under a framework arrangement. Businesses with expertise in legal services and the capacity to work on an as-and-when-required basis would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The flexible nature of the arrangement allows for quick access to legal expertise, supporting the British Library's in-house legal team in delivering necessary legal advice.

## Notice

The British Library is seeking to create a single supplier framework type arrangement via the Light Touch Regime (LTR) for services listed under Schedule 3 of PCR2015 allowing the BL to quickly and cost effectively call down expert legal advice and services on an as-and-when-required basis from an external partner to support the BL in-house legal team in delivering in-scope legal advice. The framework arrangement itself will contain no contractual commitment on any party for the provision of any particular quantity nor involve any commitment to purchase but will serve to commonly specify the terms and conditions of contract that will apply when specific work-packages are called down. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
