Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process pertains to the "Governance, Responsibilities and Ownership (GRO) Programme Legal Services", which has been awarded to DLA PIPER UK LLP by UK Shared Business Services Limited, acting as the buyer. This procurement falls under the legal services category and was conducted within the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method used was a selective approach, with the contract valued at £82,786.92. The contract commenced on 9th April 2019 and will conclude on 30th June 2019, with the initiation type being a direct award through the Crown Commercial Services RM3786 framework, thus bypassing a competitive tendering process.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for legal service providers, particularly those specialising in public sector legal affairs, to engage with government entities. Given that the procurement was classified as suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), businesses that can offer niche legal expertise in governance and organisational restructuring will be well-positioned to compete in similar future opportunities. The direct award process suggests that rapid legal expertise may be required, which can further benefit agile firms capable of quick turnaround times.
