Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Cambridgeshire procured general legal services advice for Cambridgeshire Constabulary. The requirement covers property and general legal advisory services, classified under CPV 79111000, and falls within the services category. Delivery is associated with Cambridgeshire and the East of England, including the area around postcode PE29 6NP. The buyer is the Police and Crime Commissioner for Cambridgeshire. The work is intended for the constabulary’s legal needs rather than for a construction, supply or operational policing contract. This is therefore relevant to law firms able to provide broad legal advice to a police force, particularly advice covering property matters and related general legal services within the Cambridgeshire policing environment.

The procurement has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender closed on 30 June 2026 at 12:00 BST, and the contract was awarded on 11 September 2026 to Weightmans LLP. The awarded value is £49,080 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 13 September 2028. The tender is complete and the award is active. The published requirement identifies a single service scope rather than separate lots. The opportunity was assessed as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the procurement concerns legal advisory services for Cambridgeshire Constabulary. The available evaluation information establishes the framework call-off route and the selected supplier, rather than a separately described scoring breakdown.

For a law firm that did not win this award, the procurement indicates recurring public-sector demand for combined property and general legal advice from a police-force buyer. A credible future competitor would need a broad advisory capability rather than a narrow specialist offer, with the capacity to support the constabulary across property-related matters and wider legal queries. Experience of advising public authorities, understanding police-sector governance and risk, and operating effectively through a framework call-off route would strengthen the case for selection. The requirement was considered suitable for SMEs, so a focused or regional practice may be commercially relevant if it can demonstrate dependable delivery, appropriately qualified legal staff, strong public-sector service discipline and sufficient capacity to handle an organisation-wide advisory requirement.
