Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust procured legal services to be provided as and when instructed. This is a professional legal services requirement, classified under business services, with the work delivered in England and associated with the Trust’s Procurement Department in Lincoln. The arrangement is intended to support the Trust’s legal needs on an instructed basis rather than a single defined project. The buying organisation is United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust, an NHS organisation. The requirement is categorised as services and was delivered through a framework call-off, indicating that the relevant legal work was sourced from suppliers already admitted to the framework. The opportunity is therefore relevant to legal practices able to provide a broad or appropriately matched range of legal services to an NHS trust.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 1 May 2025 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Browne Jacobson LLP on 1 June 2026, with an awarded value of £900,000. The contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 30 May 2029. The tender’s estimated value range was £300,000 minimum to £900,000 maximum. The award is active and the buyer is United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust. The process was for services and was not presented as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. No lot structure or separate evaluation weighting is provided.

For a legal services provider, this award demonstrates a recurring NHS trust requirement for legal support supplied on an as-needed basis through a framework call-off. A credible future competitor would need to be capable of responding to instructions across the Trust’s legal workload, with the systems, staffing and professional capacity to manage variable demand over a multi-year relationship. Experience of advising NHS organisations would help a practice understand the public-sector operating environment, although the procurement data does not identify particular legal specialisms or accreditations. The route to market is significant: suppliers need access to the relevant framework and the ability to compete selectively for call-offs. The buyer’s stated suitability assessment indicates that this requirement is geared towards established providers rather than smaller or voluntary-sector organisations.
