The framework is also supported by the Legal Services Helpline, which provides members with a route to a free of charge initial consultation with framework suppliers on their chosen lot.

Members can either award business directly to the supplier of their choice through direct award, or alternatively engage in a further competition in pursuit of additional added value.
