What is being bought

Published requirement description

A multi supplier ranked framework to provide legal advice and representation to the SSSC, primarily in relation to fitness to practise panel investigations and hearings but also in relation to other matters and proceedings associated with our regulatory function such as employment matters related to Panel members, procurement law as it relates to delivery of learning and development statutory functions, governance matters as it relates to the operation of the SSSC and any other relevant enquiry as it relates to the delivery of our statutory functions. 2 ranked suppliers reduces the risk of any conflict of interest around individual cases.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 20 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Framework for the Provision of Legal Services” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
