CPU 8281 - Legal Partner for Private Finance Initiative (PFI) contract expiry

Tender description

Nottingham City Council is seeking to procure a long-term legal partner (LP) to work with it on the delivery of its Private Finance Initiative (PFI) Expiry Project. The Project is expected to last circa 13 years (subject to meeting agreed performance levels and extensions being invoked) which will be reviewed annually and legal advice will potentially be required across all of the PFI contractual documentation, dealing with practical PFI expiry matters, for example Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) regulations (TUPE), advising on future service delivery options post expiry and then assisting from a legal perspective on the delivery of the preferred options. The LP will, where appropriate, work with the in-house legal team in undertaking elements of this work.
