Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process led by the Home Office sought to obtain external legal services under the "FSR Legal Services" tender. This contracting authority aimed to engage in legal advisory and representation services across various UK regions, including the North East and London. The procurement process was a selective call-off from a framework agreement and concluded with the awarding stage, with the contract valued at £40,000 to commence on the 4th of August 2025 and conclude on the 3rd of August 2027. The tender process wrapped up by the 31st of July 2025, following its initial planning and selection stages, targeting services within the legal services industry category.

This tender presents significant opportunities for legal firms with a strong background in public sector work, particularly those capable of providing comprehensive legal representation services. Large-scale law firms with ample resources and a proven record in handling framework agreements would be well-positioned to compete in such tenders. The Home Office's engagement with Browne Jacobson LLP underscores the department's commitment to collaborating with highly capable suppliers in support of its strategic legal initiatives across multiple UK regions, fostering potential business growth and increased legal service reach.
