Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "GB-Sheffield: Project Copenhagen" was conducted by British Patient Capital Limited, aiming to secure legal services within the financial sector. This project falls under the industry category of legal services (CPV: 79100000) and is located in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom. The process has reached the award stage with the contract awarded to Simmons & Simmons LLP for a total value of £30,000. Notably, the tender process commenced with the tender period ending on 18th August 2025, followed by the contract period from 19th August 2025 to 30th September 2025. The information was updated and published on 3rd October 2025.

This tender provides significant opportunities for large law firms that specialise in legal services tailored for financial institutions. While the procurement process favoured larger organisations, given the financial nature of the project and the stipulation that suitability for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) was not prioritised, it encourages well-established law firms to expand their portfolio with a foothold in the public sector. Businesses capable of delivering high-calibre legal expertise, particularly in complex financial environments, stand to benefit from engaging in similar procurement opportunities to bolster their growth and reputation in the industry.
