The procurement exercise aimed to fulfil the Housing Executive's needs for external solicitors dealing with land and property matters. The industry category is classified under legal services. The successful award for Lot 1 (Belfast Region) was granted to Cleaver Fulton Rankin Ltd, with the contract period running from 9 July 2024 to 31 December 2027, subject to an optional extension of up to 24 months. The estimated start dates for the other lots, South and North Region Panels, are 1 January 2025, though no contract awards were made for these lots. This procurement was conducted via an open procedure as defined by The Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This tender represents substantial opportunities for firms specializing in legal advisory and representation services, particularly those with expertise in land and property law. Continuous service demand until at least 2027 offers long-term business growth potentials for the successful bidder. Smaller and medium-sized legal firms, especially those with a presence or operations in the Belfast region, would be well-suited to participate in such contracts to expand their service portfolio and bolster their regional influence. Tenderers had the flexibility to apply for one, two, or all three panels, allowing businesses to adjust their strategies according to their capacities and regional strengths. Performing well in this contract invites further credibility and potential future projects with the Housing Executive. ## Notice The purpose of this procurement exercise is to establish three single member Solicitors Panels for Land and Regeneration Services to meet all of the requirements of the Housing Executive for external solicitors in connection with relevant land and property matters ("the Services" as defined in the Specification of Requirements).
