Major social landlord seeks engagement with legal services providers
Housing association Midland Heart, which has 34,000 homes across the UK, serving 55 local authorities, has called for expressions of interest in the supply of legal services.
It said it would like to engage with the market with a particular interest in those suppliers who provide legal services with respect to;
- Company Secretary and Procurement
- Treasury and Finance
- Development
- Housing Management
- Employment, H&S and Reward & Pensions
The social landlord said: “Midland Heart currently has a panel of legal services suppliers who can provide the above areas of expertise. However, the view of issuing this PIN is to allow us to engage with suppliers and enter into discussions which may better inform our requirements and therefore result in amendments to the current contract structure, hence whilst we currently believe the above to be exhaustive, there may be scope for change following engagement with the market.”
Midland Heart said the engagement would involve a meet the buyer event, which may be on a 1-1 basis or as a group event depending on volume of response.
It expects the contract notice to be published on 6 May 2024.
