Tender Description

Sheffield Hallam University wishes to establish a number of contracts with appropriately experienced commercial legal advisors to provide high quality support to the University and its in-house legal team in all aspects of their work. The University's requirements are divided in to five Lots. Each Lot represents a contract with one advisor appointed per Lot.
The scope of the legal services required for each Lot is set out in the Legal Services Specification included within the procurement documents which are available from the link in the more information (section I.3) of this notice but which in summary is to cover legal services in the following areas:
Lot 1 - Corporate, Commercial and Regulatory (Non-contentious).
Lot 2 - Disputes and litigation; and Student matters (Non-contentious and contentious).
Lot 3 - HR and Employment law (Non-contentious and contentious).
Lot 4 - Real Estate, Property and Construction (Non-contentious and contentious).
Lot 5 - Full Service - This covers all the services / legal specialisms in Lots 1 to 4 combined. It is designed for projects which require advice across a number of legal specialisms. However, the University reserves the right to use the Full Service contract for any requirement for legal services which falls within the scope of Lot 5.
The estimated value in section II.1.5 is for all Lots combined over the maximum five year term. This is an estimate only as the University's overall spend will vary from year to year, as will the amount of annual spend under each Lot.
For any year, spend under each Lot could be between 0-400,000 GBP but overall the estimated value across all Lots combined over the maximum five (5) year term (as set out in section II.1.5) is estimated as 2,000,000 GBP.
This procurement falls within the scope of the Light Touch Regime of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
