Description

Tees Valley Combined Authority wishes to establish an Open Framework for group-wide legal services framework to provide specialist legal support in a range of disciplines which will be divided into Lots: Lot 1 – Corporate, Contracts and Commercial Law Lot 2 – Property, Planning and Construction Lot 3 – Utilities Lot 4 – Regulatory, Employment and Litigation Prospective providers for respective Lots will be required to demonstrate previous experience in their field and within specific sectors. It is recognised that there may be some cross-over between Lots, and some commissions may span more than one Lot. It is anticipated that the total value of all the Lots over the next 4 years will be between seven and ten million (subject to the needs and resources of external funders). This competition is for the award of framework one in the scheme of frameworks. - Framework one (1) is for a term of 24 months. - Framework two (2) will be for a term of 12 months with an option to extend up to a maximum of 12 months. - Framework three (3) which is the final framework will last 12 months, depending on whether we exercised the option to extend framework two (2). The open framework will last 4 years in total.
