Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

BIP Solutions Limited procured legal services for Project Wire. The requirement used the Government Commercial Agency’s RM6360 Legal Panel for Government, Lot 3, covering finance and high-risk or innovation matters. The service was classified as legal services and was to be delivered in Yorkshire and the Humber. The procurement description identifies the panel route and relevant specialist area, but does not set out particular legal tasks or deliverables.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Hogan Lovells Cadwalader International LLP. The award date was 28 September 2026, and the contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The awarded value is £27,500. The requirement was placed through the Government Commercial Agency RM6360 Legal Panel for Government, Lot 3, for finance and high-risk or innovation legal services. The tender closed on 28 September 2026. The stated procurement method is “Other - Not Specified”; no evaluation criteria are recorded. The procurement was classified as a services contract.

For legal suppliers assessing comparable work from BIP Solutions Limited, this award demonstrates demand for specialist finance and high-risk or innovation advice through an established government legal panel. A credible competitor would need to show relevant legal expertise across those areas and the ability to deliver within the buyer’s requirements through the panel’s Lot 3 route. The selected supplier is a large law firm, indicating that a provider with substantial legal capacity and experience was successful on this occasion. The requirement is described at a high level, so suppliers should be able to evidence relevant capabilities across the stated subject areas rather than assume a narrower legal specialism.
