The local authority said it required specialist external legal support to handle, investigate and administer litigated liability and motor claims.
“Some pre-litigated cases are also handled by external legal partners dependent on the complexity of the issues of the case or in peak periods of workflow for the internal team. Pre-litigation claims are most usually Social Care and Disease,” it added.
The contract is expected to start on 1 December 2017 and run until 30 November 2021.
