Description:

Pool Re wishes to establish a Framework Agreement (“the Framework”) with multiple suppliers for the provision of Legal Services.
The procurement is being conducted under the Light Touch Contracts regime and is therefore subject to the applicable provisions within the Procurement Act 2023.
Providers appointed to the Framework will provide services in respect of the specialisms required for the specific Lot(s) to which they are appointed.

The Framework will be divided into two (2) Lots:

Lot 1 – General Legal Advice Services; and
Lot 2 – Major Projects and Complex Legal Advice Services.

The Lots are not exclusive, and Tenderers may bid to be appointed to one and/or both Lots.

Both Lots shall provide Legal Services predominantly in the law of England and Wales.

On occasion, depending on the nature of the engagement, Pool Re may require advice on the law of foreign jurisdictions in respect of the required specialisms, for either Lot. In the event that advice is required on the law of a foreign jurisdiction, the Provider and Pool Re shall agree in advance and in writing the approach to be taken in delivering the advice.
