University fires gun on £3.8m legal services contract

Nottingham Trent University is inviting firms to tender for the provision of legal services for a legal services framework worth an estimated £3.8m over four years.

The proposed framework will run for two years initially, with a potential maximum period of four years.

According to the tender notice, the services may be "ad-hoc, project-related, routine, or related to ongoing activities". As part of the framework, tenderers will typically be used to complement and supplement the university's own in-house legal team, the notice says.

Nottingham published the tender notice today (2 August 2021) and will stop taking applications on 2 September 2021.

The contract is scheduled to begin on 2 February 2022.
