Provision of Legal Services - Framework - Commercial Dispute Resolution Solicitors

The purpose of this procurement exercise was to establish a two member Framework, covering the whole of Northern Ireland, to meet all of the requirements of the Housing Executive for external solicitors in connection with construction, works and services related commercial contracts ("the Services" as defined and particularised in the Specification of Requirements). Since this will be a Framework, the Housing Executive will not be obliged to procure its legal services exclusively from it and will be free to either use its own in-house legal service provision, or to procure legal services outside this Framework. Also, the Contract Value stated in this notice is the value estimated to be incurred on the solicitor professional fees during the Framework Period.
