1923 External Legal Services

De Montfort University currently has an established Legal Services Panel (ref.1198), used to support the sourcing of additional or specialist external legal advice as required; however, this arrangement will shortly conclude. The University therefore requires a successor contract for the future sourcing of these services and we intend to go to market shortly. The University wishes to establish a new panel of external legal expertise and flexible resources to support the in-house legal services team to address gaps in existing legal expertise, periods of absence, lack of internal capacity, and peak demand at short notice. It is intended that this panel will comprise of two or three suppliers. Alongside this contract, the University reserves the right to contract with other suppliers for specific requirements. Details of the *current* anticipated requirement are attached to this notice - however please note that these remain under review and may be subject to amendment in the final published specification for the procurement. The University plans to conduct an Open procurement under PA23; at this stage it is anticipated that the procurement may be subject to a reduced tendering period, following a Qualifying Planned Procurement Notice. If this option is taken, the Invitation to Tender will be issued on or after 4th August 2025. We are interested in information as to your capability and capacity to provide the services detailed in this document, and would be glad of your thoughts on this opportunity. Particularly, we would like to know if your organisation intends or does not intend to take part in the forthcoming Invitation to Tender process - and if the latter, why not; this will be valuable feedback.
