Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport (DfTc) has recently completed the procurement process for the provision of legal advisers, titled "P4104143 Provision of Legal Advisers for DfTLA", under the Panel RM6179 Legal Services Framework. The contract, valued at up to £600,000 excluding VAT, is awarded to Addleshaw Goddard LLP and will run from 19th November 2025 to 18th May 2027, covering various locations including the UK, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and globally. The procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, indicating a direct award approach tailored for general legal services, with the procurement stage denoting completion as of 24th November 2025.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for large-scale legal service providers with extensive experience in delivering comprehensive legal advisory services across multiple jurisdictions. Given the expertise required and the framework agreement nature of the procurement, well-established legal firms with the capability to manage international obligations and offer strategic legal advice would be ideally suited to compete in such processes in the future. While the framework agreement limits participation to pre-approved suppliers, businesses in the legal sector that aim to expand their framework participation could consider preparing for upcoming opportunities by reinforcing their credentials in delivering high-value legal services.
