In plain English

Orkney Islands Council is buying legal advice for the Orkney and Shetland Valuation Joint Board, with an estimated value of £40,000. It is set up as a framework, meaning the council may appoint up to five legal services firms to provide this advice.

What the buyer wants

• Provide legal advice to the Orkney and Shetland Valuation Joint Board • Work under a framework arrangement, with up to five contractors appointed • Deliver legal services as a contractor if appointed to the framework

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice sets out no specific criteria that would rule out a small business, but because the work is legal advice and the framework is limited to five appointed contractors, only firms that can provide legal services are realistically in scope.

Always check the tender documents.

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.
