Purpose:
This report proposes the re-procurement of a framework agreement to enable the Council to access external legal advice at preferential rates and to our specified standards. It is a joint Procurement with Surrey County Council, East Sussex County Council, West Sussex County Council and others which is therefore attractive to bidders because of its scale and reach.
Decision:
1) That Cabinet approves the re-procurement of the external Legal Services Framework as outlined in Section 3.11 of the report and grants delegated authority to the Assistant Director of Legal and Democratic Services to:
(i) Take all steps necessary or incidental to undertake the re-procurement process;

(iii) Authorise any modifications to the framework agreement during the framework term.
