Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process, conducted by the Home Office, focused on awarding a contract for legal services, specifically under the Central Product Classification (CPV) code 79100000. This selective procurement was initiated through a call-off from a framework agreement and has concluded with the award being made to DAC Beachcroft LLP. The service location is predominantly within Scotland, United Kingdom, with the postal region specified as L3 1QY. The process reached its award stage on 10th March 2025, following the tender period which ended on 7th March 2025. The contract period extends from 14th March 2025 to 13th October 2025, with a total contract value of £50,000.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for large-scale legal service providers capable of fulfilling contracts related to public sector clients like the Home Office. While SMEs and VCSEs were not marked as suitable for this particular contract, it underscores the potential for established legal firms to secure significant business engagements through framework agreements. Such contracts not only provide a steady income stream over the specified period but also bolster a firm’s portfolio in servicing prominent governmental departments, reinforcing credibility and opening doors to further opportunities in public procurement.
