    Brief

    The Trust is seeking to provide independent legal advice services to employees participating in a Mutually Agreed Resignation Scheme (MARS), a voluntary severance program. Under this arrangement, employees who choose to voluntarily resign receive a severance payment and are entitled to independent legal advice funded by the Trust to review their settlement agreement and associated terms. This is a call-off contract with established pricing to ensure cost efficiency while maintaining legal independence. The legal advisor will provide confidential advice to employees considering or participating in the MARS program, ensuring they understand their rights, obligations, and the terms of any severance agreement. This is a single-provider arrangement designed to streamline the process, reduce duplication, and optimize both time and cost while upholding professional independence standards.
