Multi-Operator Framework Agreements for Legal Services in 4 Lots
Dublin City Council
The Law Department of Dublin City Council (DCC) is the largest legal Local Authority Office in the country. It provides a comprehensive service to the City Council in the entire area of Local Government Law including Conveyancing, Litigation, Commercial, Arbitration and EU Procurement. It is also a partner in a special project dealing with Personal Injuries Claims and Proceedings. However there are occasions when particular specialist legal services are required by the Council which are not available within the Law Department itself or if available the Law Department does not have the requisite personnel available to provide those legal services at the time in question.
Dublin City Council therefore wishes to establish multi-operator framework agreements in respect of 4 Lots for the provision of Legal Services over a period of three years commencing in 2015, with a possibility of extension for a further year.
The time limit for receipt of tenders was 2015-01-15. The procurement was published on 2014-11-14.
