## Summary

The City of Edinburgh Council is initiating a procurement process for a 'Legal Services Framework', aimed at providing legal services not only for the Council but also for other Scottish local authorities. This tender falls under the planning stage and is scheduled to be announced on 3 June 2019. The framework will consist of six distinct lots, including Commercial, Property and Planning, Litigation, Employment, Major Projects, and Debt Recovery. The anticipated duration for the framework is two years, with the option for extending for two additional one-year periods. The procurement is classified under the services category, particularly within the general public services industry.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for law firms and legal service providers looking to engage with public sector contracts in Scotland. Businesses that specialise in areas such as commercial law, property and planning law, litigation, employment law, major project advisory, and debt recovery would be particularly well-suited to compete for this framework. Local legal firms seeking to expand their client base within the public sector should take note of this upcoming opportunity, as registration of interest can be made through Public Contracts Scotland to stay informed on developments.
