This tender falls under the services category and was initiated on 26 October 2018, with an award date of 25 October 2018. The contract is located in the UK and has a total value of £480,000. The contract will remain active until 25 October 2020, targeting vendors with expertise in specialised legal matters, particularly in areas pertaining to IT contracting, data protection, and corporate law. This opportunity presents significant avenues for business growth for legal firms, especially those with a focus on niche legal services and capacity to handle complex issues. Companies specialising in employment law, corporate law, IT law, and data protection would be particularly well-positioned to submit competitive bids, as their expertise aligns with the requirements set forth by SDS. Engaging with public organisations such as Skills Development Scotland can also enhance visibility and foster long-term partnerships in the public sector. ## Notice Skills Development Scotland has two inhouse solicitors who advise on a range of legal matters. SDS has a requirement for external legal services for the following reasons:-* Focus. Due to personnel changes and the restructuring of legal services to focus on core functions of the business, all property and employment/pensions legal advice will require to be provided by our external providers.* Specialist Knowledge. From time to time, specialist knowledge is required to advise on specific matters which are particularly complex, niche or of particular risk to SDS. Such advice may relate to IT contracting, data protection, freedom of information, corporate law, litigation or freedom of information.* Capacity. From time to time, SDS Legal does not have sufficient capacity to manage all requirements. External assistance may therefore be required from time to time. Services required may include the production of terms and conditions for new services/programmes, contract enforcement advice/action, IT contracting, data protection, freedom of information and freedom of information. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV336401 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Nov 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 7 Nov 2018 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £480,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE SKILLS DEVELOPMENT SCOTLAND CO.
