II.1.4)
Short description of the contract or purchase(s)
The contracting authority intends to establish a single-party framework agreement for the provision of legal services to support the delivery of its activities. In this regard, it is envisioned that a range of support may be required across a full range of staff (i.e. partner, associate, solicitor, assistant solicitor and trainee).
Clare County Council operates under the following 8 Programme Groups and the legal services to be provided will relate to all programme groups and to all issues that may arise and which require a legal input:
1. Housing and Building.
2. Road Transportation & Safety
3. Water Supply & Sewerage
4. Development Incentives & Controls (Planning)
5. Environment Protection
6. Recreation & Amenity
7. Agriculture, Education & Welfare
8. Miscellaneous Services
It will be necessary that a named individual Solicitor will be ultimately responsible for the delivery of legal services to the Council.
Applicants may apply to be included on the tender list by completing the attached Qualification Questionnaire at Appendix A.
The above requirements represent the current anticipated range of legal services required by Clare County Council during the operation of the proposed framework. In order to be considered for inclusion on the tender list, the applicant must demonstrate that they have met all of the minimum selection requirements. Ultimately, applicants may be invited to tender following evaluation of their Questionnaire.
Taken overall, the contracting authority‘s historical annual expenditure on legal services has been in the region of €500,000 per annum over the last 3 years. This information is provided for information purposes. However, no guarantee can be given of the volume of work to be awarded during the life of the framework agreement.
