Legal Services Framework

Warwickshire Police has awarded a contract to multiple suppliers to establish a framework agreement of suitably qualified providers of legal advisory services. This was a one stage tender under the Public Contracts Regulations Light Touch Regime.

This agreement will operate utilising both direct award and quote call off procedures where appropriate. All suppliers shall be on an equal standing and for direct awards selected according to the nature of the legal advice required.

The intended scope of this procurement is a framework for use by Warwickshire Police, however as a contract option (to be confirmed by variation) the agreement may also be used by the Police & Crime Commissioner for Warwickshire.

The contract shall be for an initial period of 3 years with an option to extend for up to a further 2 years.
