Summary of the contracting process

Post Office Limited has completed the procurement process for the provision of legal services related to financial services, involving business as usual matters, project activities, and concerns related to Post Office Management Services and Payzone. The tender, identified by C102588 and classified under CPV code 79100000, was executed through a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period spans from 30th September 2023 to 30th December 2024. The services will be provided at the location with postal code EC2V 7ER in London, England. Key dates include the end of the tender period on 29th September 2023, and the award notice was published on 13th August 2024.

This tender offers significant opportunities for growth in the legal services sector, particularly for firms with expertise in financial services legal advice. However, the contract was awarded to Pinsent Mason LLP, a large-scale supplier. Businesses with similar capabilities and experience in providing high-quality legal advice to financial service entities could benefit from positioning themselves for future opportunities in this sector. Post Office Limited’s selective method indicates a preference for established frameworks, suggesting that businesses should consider becoming pre-approved suppliers within relevant frameworks to increase their chances in similar tenders.
