About

West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority awarded a contract to Browne Jacobson LLP and Ansons Solicitors Limited for a specialist fire safety legal framework agreement.

The framework, procured via the Open Procedure under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, provides solicitors and barristers experienced in regulatory law, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and Health and Safety legislation, with a track record in magistrates and crown courts for fire safety cases.

The agreement runs for 2 years from April 2020 with an option to extend for a further 2 years, and is divided into two lots: Legal Services (solicitors) and Barrister Services.

Lot 1 for solicitors was awarded to two service providers, and Lot 2 for barristers was awarded to one service provider.

Cases are assigned on a rotation basis among framework providers and the current legal service provider, Sandwell Legal Services, with the Authority reserving the right to award a case to any provider where a specialism is needed.

The contract value is £48,000.
