The main industry category is legal services (CPV code 79100000). Despite having various lots such as Fund Management and Corporate Advice, Employment Law, and Intellectual Property, among others, the procurement stage is marked as cancelled as of 13 August 2024. The procurement method is a restricted procedure covered by the GPA, and it was initiated as a tender under Directive 2014/24/EU Article 74. The framework agreement originally aimed to appoint multiple firms for diverse legal service packages, creating extensive business opportunities in specialised areas like Debt Investment, Intellectual Property, and Property Development. This would have been an ideal opportunity for businesses with expertise in these areas to expand their service offerings and client base. Sole provider roles in specific lots, such as FCA guidance or Employment Law, would have suited firms strong in client care, project management, and quality consistency. Additionally, the structured award criteria emphasised experience and cost-effectiveness, benefiting firms excelling in these metrics. Although the tender is cancelled, understanding such opportunities helps businesses better prepare for similar future prospects. ## Notice To appoint a number of individual firms, each operating under a framework agreement to provide legal services under 18 distinct subject area packages. ### Lot Information Fund Management and Corporate Advice Please refer to the Invitation to Tender for further detail regarding the Fund Management and Corporate Advice Lot.
