In plain English

Places for People is setting up a legal services panel (DPS) to appoint multiple law firms who can provide legal advice and services. Once established, other UK public sector organisations will be able to use this panel without running their own separate procurement processes.

What the buyer wants

• Provide a range of legal services (contract advice, litigation, employment law, etc.) on a call-off basis • Be available to deliver work for Places for People and potentially dozens of other public sector bodies through the DPS • Work within agreed rates and terms set out in the DPS contract

Likely requirements

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

This contract is for qualified law firms only, if you're not a regulated solicitors practice with SRA approval, you cannot bid. The budget is unspecified, and as a DPS (not a direct contract), you won't know work volume upfront; this suits firms with spare capacity willing to be on-call, not those needing guaranteed income.

How to bid

This is a Dynamic Purchasing System: an open list of approved suppliers. You can apply to join at any time while it runs, and once accepted you can bid for the individual contracts the buyer runs through it.
