Education group to appoint providers to legal services contract
The Luminate Education Group, which has more than 22,000 students, is seeking to appoint a contractor or contractors to provide legal services.
- Details
The members of the group are Leeds City College, Keighley College, Harrogate College, White Rose Academies and Leeds College of Music. There are also two distinct sub-brands of Leeds City College: Leeds Sixth Form College and University Centre Leeds.
The group said it intends to divide the contracts into the following lots:
- Employment and HR.
- Property and estate law.
- Commercial, contract and general legal advice.
Luminate said providers may bid on 1, 2 or all three lots with each lot being individually assessed and judged accordingly.
It added that Luminate Education Group as a whole and the sub-group the White Rose Academies Trust would be awarding their contracts individually due to the distinct requirements between FE/HE and academy specific legal needs.
The contracts are expected to last 36 months with a possible 12-month renewal at mutual agreement of both parties.
