TENDERING PROCESS. 3.1 The historical instructions to the legal firms and fees were examined together with an estimate of future workload. This allowed for an overall estimate of costs as well as consideration of how the framework should be structured, which was assisted by a market engagement day when a number of law firms came to speak to SPT. In June 2017 SPT advertised its requirement for legal firms to form a panel of firms under a framework agreement, with advice divided into five separate Lots. 3.2 A total of 11 firms submitted tenders across five different areas of legal advice. 3.3 The tenders were assessed on predetermined quality/cost criteria to determine the best value tenders for entry onto the framework list. 3.4 In selecting firms for inclusion on the panel, the quality criteria required tenderers to demonstrate and provide a comprehensive appreciation of SPT’s required legal services support, to outline their proposed methodology, their skills and experience, and the experience of the proposed personnel to be allocated to SPT. The tenders were assessed by ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇’▇▇▇▇▇, Senior Legal Advisor, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Digital Manager, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Strategic Project Manager and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, Chief Accountant.
