Consortium of housing associations to hold market engagement ahead of next legal services framework
- Details
The Housing Associations' Legal Alliance (HALA) is to hold preliminary market engagement ahead of procuring its next legal services framework, which is estimated to be worth £72m over four years – more than double the value of its current agreement.
The proposed framework is expected to run from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029, with a possible extension to 31 August 2030.
HALA is conducting the preliminary market engagement through the provision of a supplier questionnaire.
Comments provided by suppliers will help shape and inform the approach to the re-procurement of the current framework.
The deadline for submission of responses is Friday 26 September at 5pm.
The estimated publication date of the tender notice is 9 March 2026.
The lead contracting authority is Southern Housing. HALA is being advised on the re-procurement by consultancy Kennedy Cater.
In August 2022 HALA appointed 17 firms to its current framework, which was estimated at the time to be worth £32m.
