PS/05/2014 - RFI - Legal Services Market Survey (Solicitors)

This is NOT a call for competition. The Office of Government Procurement (OGP) has been established to centralise the procurement of common goods and services across the public sector. This move is in line with best practice in the public and private sector and is part of the continuing reform programme being driven by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. OGP will take responsibility for the procurement of Professional Services. As the process of establishing the OGP structures continues it has been decided to develop a number of category sourcing strategies within the Professional Services portfolio. A key category which requires the development of a sourcing strategy is Legal Services and more particularly those services which public bodies procure from Solicitors. This sourcing priority is based on the fact that the State is a significant procurer of legal services. This is a market survey whereby OGP is requesting the views of interested parties on the provision of Solicitors services to government departments and agencies. This project is at an early planning stage and the result of this survey – along with information provided by government departments and agencies and other research – will be used to inform possible tendering options and service delivery solutions.
