Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Department for Transport seeking legal advisers for the East Midlands Franchise. This tender, titled "East Midlands Franchise Legal Advisers," is classified under research and development services and related consultancy services (CPV 73000000). The contract value is £350,000 and was awarded following a selective procurement method, specifically through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract commenced on 2nd September 2019 and concluded on 1st December 2019, with the award notice published on 21st April 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for established legal firms specialising in transportation law or public sector consultancy, particularly those with experience in franchise operations.
