South Lanarkshire Council have an on-going requirement to outsource some legal services. The Council has an in-house legal team which will provide the vast majority of legal services, however a requirement exists to outsource work where;
1. The Council is in law unable to carry out the work itself e.g. Financial Guardians,
2. Work of a more specialised nature requiring specific levels of necessary experience is required,
3. Due to levels of high demand, the in-house team lack capacity at the relevant time.
.
To allow for maximum flexibility, it is proposed that Framework be offered to the market for 3 years with a possible extension of 24 months. The Framework will be split into 3 Lots; with 1 bidder awarded to each of Lots 1 and 2, and maximum 4 bidders awarded to Lot 3.
.
Bidders are invited to bid for 1, 2 or all Lots as they see fit.
