Tender Details

The State Property Authority intends to establish a Legal Services Panel to provide legal services. The services required are legal advisory and representation services which will be provided from time to time on instructions from the Authority.

The Service provider will have substantial experience in providing advice, interpretation, drafting and representation to NSW government agencies in the areas of law including but not limited to property law, commercial law, administrative law, litigation services and other areas of law relevant to the Authority.

The panel will be established by way of a two-stage process.

In Phase 1, the Authority seeks Expressions of Interest for suitably qualified legal practitioners or firms to be short-listed to respond to a Request for Tender for the Services.

In Phase 2, short-listed firms will respond to a Request for Tender (RFT) for the Services.

The RFT will require short-listed practitioners/firms to tender on the basis of price and address other requirements of the Authority relating to the provision of the Services. These criteria will be specifically set out in the RFT.

The RFT will attach the relevant agreement for services to be entered into with successful applicants.

Successful applicants appointed to the Panel may be engaged from time to time by the Authority to provide the Services.

The expected timeframe for the Legal Panel is for 2 years from the end of 2008, with an option for 1 year renewal.
