Sets up a framework (suppliers apply to join)

In plain English

Castles and Coasts Housing Association is setting up a panel of law firms to provide legal advice on land and development matters, such as property transactions, planning and site acquisitions. It replaces Lot 1 of their earlier legal services framework and includes a revised pricing approach set out in the tender documents. The estimated total value is £650,000.

What the buyer wants

• Register your firm for the framework by submitting a tender response that shows your legal expertise in land and development work • Provide clear pricing under the revised approach set out in the tender documents, and be prepared to explain how you charge for the work • Evidence your regulation, insurance, quality standards and relevant housing sector experience, including references from previous clients

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

A firm without SRA regulation, the required professional indemnity cover, or demonstrable experience in land and development law and housing sector work would be unable to meet the entry requirements.

How to bid

This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
