The tender, which spans multiple lots covering various legal service areas, is at the award stage but has been cancelled. Key dates related to this process were finalised on 13 August 2024. The tender was targeted for services across the UK, with a specific focus on legal consultancy in diverse segments, including Fund Management, Employment Law, Intellectual Property, and Property Development. The procurement method was selective, following a restricted procedure to ensure high-quality service providers. This tender presented significant opportunities for growth, particularly for legal firms with expertise in specific subject matters such as corporate advice, employment law, and intellectual property. The framework agreement aimed at creating a robust support system for Finance Wales by leveraging specialised legal skills under multiple lots, each having distinct requirements and award criteria, typically favouring competitive pricing and effective client care. Legal firms with proven track records in these areas were well-suited to participate and had the potential to secure significant engagements contributing to their business expansion in the public sector. Although currently cancelled, similar future opportunities would likely benefit small to midsize legal enterprises aiming to establish or strengthen their foothold in government contracts. ## 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..
