NHS Commercial Solutions to procure £40m legal services panel

The procurement is being run by the Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, on NHS Commercial Solutions’ behalf.

NHS Commercial Solutions said it was seeking “a panel of suitably experienced and qualified suppliers of legal services to provide expert guidance to NHS and, potentially, other public sector organisations”.

The categories of law for which services are expected to be required include, but are not necessarily limited to:

• commercial and corporate
• employment
• property
• health
• primary care
• mental health
• healthcare projects (including PFI, PPP, joint ventures and Local Improvement Finance Trust (LIFT) schemes)
• NHS Governance and Public Law.

The framework agreement is to be made available to the NHS in England, including foundation and acute trusts. It is expected to last 60 months.
