You must provide Pro Bono Legal Services (>=10% of contract value) and report annually; be a signatory to national Pro Bono target — this reduces billable revenue.

Price is fixed until 22 November 2027; variations after that require 21 days' notice and Contract Authority approval and no back‑payment — plan rates accordingly.

Professional indemnity must include specific extensions (fraud/dishonesty, defamation, IP infringement, documents/data loss, ACL breaches) — ensure insurer agrees.
