Legal services

Tender description

Our aim is to establish a highly competitive legal services framework agreement for member institutions across the 5 participating consortia, located in England and Wales. While the contracting authority cannot guarantee volumes, it is estimated that the total value of services for the entire duration of the framework agreement (including extension periods) is approx. 70 000 000 GBP excluding VAT. This an estimation based on historical spend in this service area. It may vary considerably up or down. No business whatsoever is guaranteed under any resulting framework agreement or contract and, indeed, there is no guarantee that any framework agreement or contract will be put in place in relation to this notice. No compensation/etc will be paid if a tender or resulting framework agreement is withdrawn for any reason. Providers should take part in the process only on the basis that they fully understand and accept this position.
