North East housing association names three firms to provide property and development legal advice

The firms appointed by Thirteen Housing Group were:

• Anthony Collins
• DWF Law
• Ward Hadaway

The contract was awarded on the basis of quality (weighting: 70) and price (weighting: 30).

In a notice Thirteen Housing Group said it would not make a contract award for the other lots it had originally proposed as being part of the framework: Employment Law (lot 2); Corporate Finance (lot 3) and Commercial and Governance (lot 4).

The framework was originally estimated to be worth £600,000. The property and development legal advice is estimated to be worth £125,000.
