## Summary

The Scottish Legal Complaints Commission (SLCC) is currently in the tender stage of its procurement process for a framework agreement aimed at legal representation and advice services. This four-year framework, anticipated to generate approximately £160,000 in annual spend, will primarily involve work in the Inner House of the Court of Session in Edinburgh. Interested bidders should note that the formal tender submission period ends on 19 April 2022, with bids expected to open on 20 April 2022. The SLCC is seeking firms regulated by the Law Society of Scotland to participate in this open procurement method, which encourages up to three legal entities to be appointed as framework providers.

This procurement presents a valuable opportunity for legal firms specialising in public law, judicial review, and general litigation practice, particularly those with expertise in regulatory and compliance matters relevant to the SLCC's statutory functions. Firms that meet the regulatory criteria and can demonstrate a strong track record in representing clients at a high level in court are well-suited for this tender. The anticipated contract value offers a sound basis for sustainable business development within the legal sector in Scotland, catering not only to the SLCC's needs but also to broader legal market demands.
