About

The Northern Ireland Authority for Utility Regulation is seeking a supplier for a four‑Lot legal services framework to provide legal advice to support its in‑house team, covering legal advisory, representation and documentation services as set out in the Specification Schedule; the framework has an overall estimated value of £4 Million (ex VAT), is demand‑led with no guarantee of commissioned volume, and will run for 3 years with an option to extend for one further year.

Insight

This could be valuable for law firms and legal service providers able to deliver advisory, representation and documentation services across multiple lots. Key considerations include the demand‑led nature of work with no guaranteed volume, the 3‑year term (plus one‑year option), and participation in a competitive open/competitive flexible procurement process.
