Legal Support Services for Civil Litigation

The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) is inviting proposals from qualified attorneys and law firms to form a panel that will deliver essential civil litigation and legal support services. These services will encompass a range of legal areas, including administrative, labour, and constitutional law, aimed at supporting all SIU offices across South Africa. The contract will be active for five years, with an option to extend for an additional three years, ensuring continuity and reliability in legal support.

The selected panel will be expected to provide expertise on various legal matters as they arise, ensuring that the SIU can effectively navigate complex legal challenges. This includes representing the SIU in civil litigation cases, providing legal opinions, and advising on compliance with relevant laws and regulations. The tender emphasizes flexibility, as services will be requested on an 'as-and-when required' basis, allowing the SIU to engage legal support tailored to specific needs and circumstances.

This opportunity is ideal for law firms and attorneys with proven experience in civil litigation and a strong understanding of administrative, labour, and constitutional law. By participating in this tender, firms will not only contribute to the SIU's mission of combating corruption and maladministration but also secure a long-term partnership that can enhance their portfolio and visibility in the legal sector.
