Description
The Council has a requirement to procure a legal services framework consisting of our (4 Lots, covering a range of legal services to act as an extension to the in-house legal team. The intention is to utilise and call-upon the legal firms appointed to the framework agreement at times when:
- There is insufficient resource within the in-house team;
- The project and/or requirement relates to a specialist and complex requirement, which is unique and would be best with a specialist legal firm with the resource to fulfil the requirement; and
- Where the risk outweighs the potential cost of seeking the advice.
For the avoidance of any doubt, the requirement excludes obtaining Counsel advice and representation of the Council in legal court/appeal or similar matters.
Specific details of a matter / requirement, will be provided prior to confirmation and appointment via a call-off. This specification therefore sets out the general approach to the services, the expected outcomes to be achieved, the principles, response times and core scope of each lot.
