Description

The University last went out to tender for external legal services in 2009. That process resulted in the University appointing a framework of four firms of solicitors to support the University in meeting their objectives. The University will now re-tender for this agreement, being sure to capture any new or amended requirements that have developed.

The University will follow a similar process, in establishing a new framework of firms of solicitors. The procurement of the framework will follow a two-stage restricted tender process.
The University wishes to procure a framework of appropriately experienced solicitors to support the University's legal team in all aspects of the Legal Team's work in providing a high quality, commercial legal service to the University.
