Question:
For Part A- are you expecting the consultant to provide written legal advice (and therefore have a practicing legal certificate), or will you seek specific legal advice after this project has concluded, based on the recommendations of the consultant?

Answered on 18/Jun/2025 03:18 PM:


The successful service provider(s) are not required to hold a practising certificate in law, or to necessarily provide legal advice.

The University has an in-house legal team which can arrange for review of any recommendations for change that may carry legal significance
