The Council's Legal Services is a member of the London Boroughs' Legal Alliance (LBLA). The LBLA is a collaborative partnership of local authority legal teams in London which provides these teams with procurement and training support. Last year the LBLA, at the instigation of its members, requested tenders for its legal libraries. As a result of this process, and as per the terms of the procurement conducted by the LBLA, the Council has selected the most economically advantageous tender and awarded a contract with a duration of 2 Years and 8 Months.
