Summary of the contracting process

Cambridgeshire County Council has completed the awarding process for a tender titled "Award Notice: Legal Services," aimed at procuring legal services to advise on and document the contracts for the disposal of the Shire Hall campus site in Cambridge. This tender falls under the industry category of legal services (CPV 79100000) and was conducted through a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The award was published on 23 October 2024, with key deadlines including the tender period ending on 4 December 2023 and the contract period running from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024. The main location for the services is at the New Shire Hall in Huntingdon, England, with a project value of £100,000.

This tender offers significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for SMEs, as it is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises to compete.
