What is being bought

Published requirement description

SFT wishes to award a single supplier framework agreement to appoint a legal adviser for a term of 4 years. The legal adviser is being appointed primarily to deliver the general legal advice that SFT and its subsidiary Scottish Futures Trust Investments Limited (SFTi) and any other associated entities require. While it is envisaged that specific advice for the projects and programmes falling under SFT’s remit will be provided by other means, it is possible that from time to time such advice may also be required.

  • Recurrence: In 4 years following completion of the contract

CPV: Legal services

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 25 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2.5 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Provision of Legal Services” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.

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