    Brief

    Bedford Borough Council is seeking to establish a Framework Agreement for the provision of barristers' services. This framework will serve as an approved route to market for procuring specialized legal expertise and additional capacity when the Council's in-house Legal Services Unit cannot meet current demand. Barristers' chambers are invited to tender for inclusion on this framework, which will enable the Council to access qualified legal representation for cases requiring specialist expertise, supplementary resources, or services outside the scope of internal capabilities. Selected providers will be positioned to receive work through the framework agreement during its operation period.
