These areas include Corporate Governance and Finance, Housing & Asset Management, Development, and Property. This procurement falls under the legal services industry category and is primarily focused in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom. The process is currently at the 'tender' stage, following an open procurement method. Interested parties should note that the contract period is set to commence on 1st September 2026. The procurement initially valued at £30,000,000 has been modified to £45,000,000, and the framework is active as of the latest update on 16th June 2026. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the legal services sector, especially those with expertise in housing and asset management - a segment expecting notable growth. Firms specializing in corporate governance, property law, and broader legal advisory services will find potential for engagement. It is particularly ideal for SMEs looking to expand their clientele regionally, as the procurement process encourages participation from smaller enterprises. With a comprehensive lot structure, this tender offers diverse opportunities for legal firms to secure a robust partnership with the expanding HALA membership, thereby fostering robust business growth. ## Notice Modification Notice Original description: The HALA Members have come together in a shared procurement exercise and wish to appoint a panel of Solicitors upon whose advisory services the individual members can call. The contract is divided into the following lots: Lot 1: Corporate Governance and Finance, Lot 2: Housing & Asset Management, Lot 3 - Development, Lot 4: Property Description of the modifications The modification involves a change in the published contract value. The Total value of the Procurement, in the Contract Award Notice published on 26 August 2022, was PS30,000,000 (excluding VAT). The modified Total value of the Procurement (excluding VAT) is PS45,000,000 (excluding VAT). Approximately PS10m of the anticipated additional spend is expected to be through Lot 2: Housing and Asset Management. Description of the economic or technical reasons and the inconvenience or duplication of cost preventing a change of contractor: The reasons for the modification are: a) the HALA members have spent more through the framework than was anticipated and b) the HALA membership has grown beyond what was anticipated, also increasing the overall spend. A full re-procurement, to allow for the additional spend, would have involved a significant duplication of costs for the Contracting Authority. The tender for the new HALA Legal Services (Solicitors) Framework was published on 13th Feb 2026 and is due to commence on 1st Sep 2026. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dc2d6749-5132-483e-a37f-e3a01bc42aae | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Jun 2026 | | Submission deadline | 30 Aug 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2022 - 31 Aug 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £30,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SOUTHERN HOUSING | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | EC1M 5LA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI43 Haringey and Islington | | Local authority | Islington | | Electoral ward | Clerkenwell | | Westminster constituency | Islington South and Finsbury | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79100000 - Legal services ## Release History - 16 Jun 2026 at 16:30 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dc2d6749-5132-483e-a37f-e3a01bc42aae ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dc2d6749-5132-483e-a37f-e3a01bc42aae 16th June 2026 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/delta/respondToList.html?noticeId=1041367795 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
