What is being bought

Published requirement description

CPC will be tendering for Legal Services to create a framework for our members within the education sector, and also the wider public sector via Crescent Services limited.

The exact details of the framework are still to be determined, such as the Lot structure, but it is likely to be split by Lots and include industry specific elements, an example being Academy Conversion and Post Conversion Services.

The service provision of Legal Services will be directly from suppliers who are experts within the industry and are able to assist CPC members with what can often be complex and ever-changing legal services.
