• experience in acting as Solicitor to the Inquiry, and of the issues likely to face an Inquiry both from the perspective of the Inquiry itself and of Core Participants;
•the ability to bring in additional support for resilience (such as paralegal document reviewers) if required;
• strong leadership, organisational skills and ability to work flexibly and collaboratively when acting for Solicitor to the Inquiry and/or Core Participants; and
• experience in building relationships including examples of developing and maintaining the confidence of senior stakeholders.
The appointed bidder is expected to hold ISO 9001 (QMS), ISO 22301:2019 (Business Continuity), ISO/IEC 27001 (Information Security Management Systems), ISO/IEC 27002:2013 (IT), ISO/IEC 27031:2011 (IT) and ISO 22313:2020 (Security) certification or equivalents, and Cyber Essentials Plus. The appointed bidder will be required to contract with Burges Salmon on a full flow-down of the terms of Burges Salmon's RM6179 CCS Framework Contract including specific terms applicable to each Call-Off Contract for which the bidder supports Burges Salmon. This shall include delivering services on such rates and discounts as Burges Salmon may agree from time to time with CCS, supporting its social value commitments to CCS and promptly providing all relevant management information.
