Humber Consortium names 13 firms to legal services framework
The Humber Consortium – comprising North Lincolnshire Borough Council, North East Lincolnshire Council and Hull City Council – has named 13 law firms to a £4m legal services framework.
The practices appointed to the 13 separate lots were:
- Addleshaw Goddard
- Anthony Collins
- Browne Jacobson
- Cobbetts
- Eversheds
- Forbes Solicitors
- Pannone
- Paris Smith
- Quality Solicitors Wilson Browne
- Squire Sanders
- Veale Wasbrough Vizards
- Walker Morris
- Ward Hadaway
A full breakdown of which firms were appointed to which lot is set out below. The framework is expected to be in place for four years.
The Humber Consortium was forced last year to re-run the tender for the framework agreement after discovering a flaw in its original procurement exercise.
According to a new tender notice issued in April 2011, the termination of the earlier procurement was based on a decision not to award due to a defect in process in which the 50:50 price:quality weighting “was on financial advice found not to work as a true 50:50 split”.
