## Summary

Interested providers are invited to submit their responses by 12 noon on 5th February 2021.

## Notice

Painsley Catholic Academy in collaboration with Churchmarketplace and 2buy2.com Ltd (Education Buying) are inviting providers of Legal Services to participate in a formal Preliminary Market Consultation for a proposed national Framework Agreement for the provision of Legal Services. Preliminary Market Consultation (PMC) is a "pre-procurement" process that enables contracting authorities and/or procurement agents acting on behalf of contracting authorities that are subject to the Public Contract Regulations 2015 to seek responses from the market in transparent, fair and equitable manner. The preliminary market consultation is an opportunity to influence the potential future shape and solution of a future procurement process. This process is not a procurement process, although it may form part of a procurement. Further details can be downloaded via Delta eSourcing. The deadline for PMC responses is 12noon on 5th February 2021.
