The award of the contract relates to legal advisor services for the Pimlico District Heating Undertaking (PDHU) renewal. The procurement was a competitive call-off process under the London Borough Legal Alliance (LBLA). The award of contract will see a legal advisor with a broad range of in-house services support the PDHU renewal programme, with legal advice across property, housing, energy, environment, planning, public procurement, commercial, construction, statutory consultation, finance and more.


The Contract Period will be for the full PDHU Programme across RIBA Stage 1 to 7, which is anticipated to run for 8-10 years.
