GB-West Yorks / London: RFI 001739 Legal Advice Services Framework

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION Legal Advice Services Framework RFI Ref 001739 Purpose of this Request for Information (RFI)

The British Library is seeking market information to inform the future procurement of a framework arrangement for the provision of legal advice services.

The British Library views this RFI process as one potential route to inform the future procurement of the services described. The information gathered under this RFI may be used to evaluate potential suppliers and service offers and produce a shortlist for invitation to tender. At this stage, no final decision has been taken on the precise scope of the framework arrangement or the procurement route to be followed.

When submitting information, all organisations should note that this is not currently a tender opportunity but is part of a market consultation exercise aiming to ensure that the procurement route selected and the options ultimately developed for any procurement are properly informed.

Responses to this RFI should be submitted by the deadline of 12 noon on Friday 1st April 2022

Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
