Agora Legal Explained: Transforming Legal Services Procurement
about the event
Public sector procurement teams are increasingly under pressure to deliver legal services that are not only compliant, but are also faster to access, flexible, and inclusive of SMEs and specialist legal providers.
Agora Legal, operated by Constellia and created in partnership with Bristol City Council, offers a fully compliant Flexible Purchasing System that gives contracting authorities greater control, faster turnaround, and access to a diverse, legal services marketplace. Using direct awards or mini competitions, the model simplifies purchasing, improves SME access, and supports Social Value outcomes in line with NPPS priorities.
If you’re looking for a simpler way to engage with legal providers while collaborating with SMEs, large corporations, national or local firms across the UK, this session is for you.
Join us on Friday 26th September at 1:00pm with Constellia and Bristol City Council.
