Summary of the contracting process

Redditch Borough Council procured legal services for attendance at committee meetings and general legal advice. The requirement sits under the NEPO513 Legal Services Framework and covers the council’s legal support needs in England. The service category is legal services (CPV 79100000). The buyer is Redditch Borough Council, based at Town Hall, Walter Stranz Square, Redditch. The requirement is a service contract rather than the supply of goods or construction works. It is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so relevant firms may include specialist legal practices, regional providers and larger law firms able to provide continuing public-sector advice and committee attendance.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 12 June 2026 through a direct award under the NEPO513 Legal Services Framework. The tender submission deadline was 12 June 2026 at 23:59. Anthony Collins Solicitors LLP was awarded the contract for £25,000. The contract runs from 15 June 2026 to 14 June 2028. The published requirement covers attendance at committee meetings and general legal advice. The process used a direct award rather than an open competition, and the available procurement record identifies the legal services framework route as the basis for selection. The contract is recorded as awarded and active.

This award indicates a defined demand from Redditch Borough Council for external legal advice linked to committee business and general council matters. A credible future competitor would need solicitors with practical experience advising local authorities, attending formal committees and explaining legal issues clearly to elected members and officers. Firms should be able to provide responsive, dependable advice across the range of general local-government requirements, while understanding public-sector governance, decision-making and risk. Experience under legal services frameworks or similar public procurement arrangements would help demonstrate familiarity with the route used by the council. The opportunity is suitable for SMEs, so a focused specialist practice could compete if it can provide sufficient capacity, continuity and senior legal expertise.
