Major social landlord to procure latest £30m legal services framework

Details: 04.Sep.2023

One of the largest housing associations in the country has launched the procurement of a legal services framework worth an estimated £30m over four years.

Sanctuary Housing Group, which owns and manages around 120,000 units of accommodation, said it was “looking to procure a legal services panel to help support it with its legal services requirements across a number of different legal specialisms.

“The outcome of this procurement process will be a multi-supplier arrangement across a number of lots covering a range of specialisms and requirements in both England and Scotland.”

The closing date is 12 pm on 29 September 2023.

The contract is due to start on 1 April 2024 and run until 31 March 2028.

In April 2017 Sanctuary appointed four firms – Gowling WLG, Bevan Brittan, Burness Paull, and Harper Macleod – to its current framework, which was estimated at the time to be worth £25m.
