Summary of the contracting process

The Government Legal Department in London has completed a procurement process titled "Vector Advice" within the legal services industry. The project, valued at £36,500, focuses on providing counsel for review work and anticipated litigation related to detentions, decisions, and removals by charter flights to Rwanda. The procurement method involved a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period ended on 10th May 2024, with the contract running from 16th May 2024 to 20th December 2025. The contract has been awarded to Anexsys Limited, a large-scale company based in London.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in legal services, particularly those with capabilities in litigation and government advisory roles. Firms experienced with government frameworks and possessing robust legal counsel expertise will find this project well-matched to their strengths. Although the procurement method was selective, ensuring that only pre-qualified suppliers could participate, it underscores the importance of being part of framework agreements for future opportunities with governmental bodies. The completed procurement highlights the potential for substantial, long-term engagements with the Government Legal Department.
