Framework Agreement for Legal Representation for the Insurance team

Description

Norfolk County Council required legal services for the in-house insurance team to predominately help support the delivery of the claims service, and retendered its expiring framework agreement for these services. The Council was seeking to purchase legal representation. The service will provide a high standard of professional service advice and guidance on all matters relating to insurance claims handled by the team. Typical duties will include but not be limited to: • Provision of general legal advice • Representing the authority in litigation • Maintaining a knowledge of issues facing the authority and being prepared to offer legal opinions • Supporting the development and knowledge of the insurance team. Regular management information relating to claims settlement and costs will need to be provided. The insurance team provide support to the Norse Group and as such require coverage across the country. This is a framework agreement and as such the value quoted is the potential maximum spend under the framework agreement, but is also not a guarantee of work.
