Southwark puts £1m+ residential conveyancing contract up for grabs

The London Borough of Southwark is seeking expressions of interest in a £1.18m contract to provide residential conveyancing services to the council and its customers.

Southwark said: “The service is demand-led and deals with matters relating to the contracting authority's disposals under statutory and discretionary home ownership schemes, post-sales legal transactions arising from such disposals as well as providing advice on matters raising from these and related matters.

“This may range from assisting the contracting authority to draft new precedent leases to providing specific advice on individual cases. There are 32 case types detailed in the Specification and ITT documents.”

The contract will awarded will be for an initial period of three years and may be extended at Southwark’s sole discretion for a further period of two years (in 12-month increments).
