Legal Service Framework - 3 lots

University of Reading · Education

In brief

University of Reading was looking for suppliers for legal work. Bidding has closed and no award has been published yet.

It is a framework worth up to £400,000 including VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 4 years, up to 8 years with extensions, starting 1 July 2026.

It is split into 3 lots, so a supplier can bid for part of the work.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.
