The brief

The Insolvency Service (hereafter referred to as "the Authority") Official Receiver Services Directorate (ORS) is looking to appoint up to a maximum of five (5) Potential Providers which may be instructed by individual official receivers to deliver legal services and administer asset recoveries for the Authority.

The Authority will require the full range of general and specialist legal support to assist in meeting the project objectives.

It is anticipated that a maximum of five (5) Potential Providers will be appointed for England and Wales who, if required and in accordance with the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) Framework Agreement In this event, the Potential Provider shall agree with the Authority in advance and in writing the approach to be taken in delivering the service.

The Authority currently has a panel of five (5) legal suppliers, each awarded as individual Call-Off Contracts from the Crown Commercial Services (CCS) General Legal Advice Services (RM3786) Framework, which has now expired.

The Authority currently accesses the legal services it is seeking to procure, via the framework agreement named above and utilises this external provision in order to obtain legal advice on various areas of law to assist the OR in fulfilling their duties as Trustee or Liquidator.

These legal services contracts expire in February 2023.

This requirement will replace all current Call-Off Contracts with a maximum of five (5) Potential Providers procured from the Legal Services Panel (RM6197) Framework Lot 1 General Legal Advice Services.
