The requirement replaces Lot 1 of its previous legal-services framework, with a revised pricing approach. The services are for delivery in the United Kingdom. This is a legal-services contract, rather than a procurement of goods or construction works; the association is buying legal advice and support related to land and development. The procurement is organised as a single lot, covering the stated requirement as a whole. The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The deadline for enquiries was 17 November 2026 at 12:00, and the deadline for expressions of interest and tender submissions was 24 November 2026 at 12:00. The buyer expected to decide the award by 18 December 2026. The framework was scheduled to run from 18 January 2027 to 17 January 2030, with an option to extend for a further 12 months, up to 17 January 2031. Its estimated value is £800,000 excluding VAT (£960,000 including VAT). Quality and price are evaluated using the criteria, weightings and method in the Invitation to Tender; the stated criteria are a quality questionnaire and the completed pricing schedule. This opportunity suits legal practices with experience advising on land and development matters, particularly those able to support a housing association’s organisational requirements. The buyer has indicated that the requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so firms of those types may compete. Suppliers need to be able to prepare a quality-questionnaire response and submit pricing against the buyer’s schedule; both are assessed under the Invitation to Tender’s detailed criteria and methodology. The framework’s multi-year term, with a possible extension, is suited to a provider able to maintain capacity and continuity in legal support over an extended period. No specific professional accreditations or prior contract credentials are stated in the published procurement details. ## Notice Castes and Coasts Housing Association invites tenders for Land and Development legal services. This procurement replaces Lot 1 of the previous CCHA - 0315 legal services framework tender and included revised pricing approach, as detailed in the tender documents. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: The framework will run for an initial 36 months. CCHA may extend it for a further 12 months, giving a maximum duration of 48 months. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/101447-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Oct 2026 | | Submission deadline | 24 Nov 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 18 Jan 2027 - 17 Jan 2030 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £800,000 | | Lots value | £800,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Castles and Coasts | | Locality | NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE | | Postcode area | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Postcode | NE12 8EW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC4 Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear | | ITL 3 | TLC43 Tyneside | | Local authority | North Tyneside | | Electoral ward | Longbenton & Benton | | Westminster constituency | Newcastle upon Tyne North | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79100000 - Legal services ## Release History - 27 Oct 2026 at 11:40 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/101447-2026 - 20 Oct 2026 at 10:03 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/098791-2026 - 20 Oct 2026 at 08:51 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/098747-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/101447-2026 27th October 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/098791-2026 20th October 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/098747-2026 20th October 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://castlesandcoasts.co.uk/ - https://procontract.due-north.com/ - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
