Description
Under section 5B of the Academies Act 2010 (as amended), Liverpool City Council has a statutory duty to take all reasonable steps to facilitate school academisation. This requires the Council to assist with the granting of land interests, typically via a lease, and the transfer of school assets, contracts, and staff.

Legal Justification
Due to the highly specialised nature of academy conversions and the strict deadlines imposed by the Secretary of State for Education, the Council appointed Womble Bond Dickinson Ltd for an initial 12-month period. Womble Bond Dickinson is currently managing two active conversions, making it technically and operationally infeasible to switch suppliers mid-process.
