Plans mooted for LGPS legal services framework

Norfolk County Council has announced plans to create a framework agreement for the provision of legal services to LGPS funds and pools. The council has published a prior information notice advertising a “concept viability event” to be held in London on 19 July.
The tender said: “This framework agreement will be for the provision of legal services to administering authorities of Local Government Pension Schemes (LGPS) and employer bodies within the respective funds on all aspects of the law and regulations applicable to them, including specialist advisers in pensions and investment law.”

The adoption of artificial intelligence in local government could be just as much about maximising available resources – essentially doing more with less – as it is about making immediate financial savings or efficiencies.
