The Council will grant sub-underleases of those units to occupiers, and insofar as possible on a pre-let basis. The Council seeks external legal representation to act on its behalf to negotiate the legal documentation required in respect of these lettings, and to resolve prospective occupiers' title and other enquiries. As the entire estate is to be constructed, resolving those title and other enquiries may also entail providing advice to the Council on the estate management set up. ## CPV classification Legal services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/43234d5d-603a-485c-a8d6-30bba6e87fa8) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
