    Brief

    The Council seeks specialist legal services to support the management of its Grouped Schools Private Finance Initiative (PFI) Contract expiry. The successful provider will deliver expert advice across contract, commercial, and employment law, working closely with the Council's PFI Expiry Project Team and Multi Academy Trusts. Key deliverables include: comprehensive contract reviews and ongoing contract management; identification and assessment of financial, legal, and operational risks; development of exit strategies and transition plans; management of TUPE (Transfer of Undertakings Protection of Employment) and pension-related obligations; resolution of school-specific issues; and support in addressing potential contractual disputes. The service is designed to ensure a smooth transition as the PFI contract approaches its end date, with particular attention to transferring relevant responsibilities to Multi Academy Trusts and re-procuring necessary services where required.
