## Summary

Castles and Coasts Housing Association is seeking legal services for land and development work through a framework. The requirement replaces the land and development lot of its previous legal services framework and includes a revised pricing approach set out in the tender documents. The service category is legal advice and support relating to land and development. The procurement is for work in the United Kingdom. The framework is arranged as one lot, covering the land and development legal services requirement. The association is the buyer and is based in Newcastle upon Tyne.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. This is the tender stage of the procurement. The deadline for enquiries was 17 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the deadline for expressions of interest was 24 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The expected award decision date was 18 December 2026. The framework is scheduled to run from 18 January 2027 to 17 January 2030, with an option to extend by a further 12 months, up to 17 January 2031. Its estimated value is £650,000 excluding VAT (£780,000 including VAT). Quality questionnaire responses and the completed pricing schedule will be assessed against the criteria, weightings and methodology in the invitation to tender.

The opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises. It will suit legal practices with expertise in land and development matters and the capacity to provide advice and support over a multi-year framework. Suppliers should be able to prepare strong responses to the quality questionnaire and provide competitive, clearly structured pricing in line with the tender’s revised pricing approach. The framework offers a route to provide services to a housing association across its land and development activity. The tender description does not set out specific professional accreditations, minimum staffing levels or experience thresholds, so firms should use the invitation to tender for the detailed requirements.
