Summary of the contracting process

National Highways has completed the procurement process for the "DCO - A57 Link Roads 2024-2026" project, focusing on legal services to support Development Consent Orders (DCOs) across multiple regions in the United Kingdom. The tender falls under the legal services industry category and involves regions including the North East, North West, and various parts of England. The procurement method used was a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The key dates for this tender include a tender period that ended on 17th May 2024, with the contract period running from 27th June 2024 to 31st July 2026. National Highways, based in Leeds, acted as the buying organisation and awarded the contract to GOWLING WLG (UK) LLP, a large supplier located in London.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities, especially for large legal service providers with expertise in handling complex legal representation around DCOs. While the procurement method was selective, such call-offs from framework agreements highlight the importance of being pre-qualified and maintaining strong positions within relevant frameworks. Large law firms with experience in infrastructure projects and a footprint across the indicated UK regions would be well-suited to compete in similar tenders. Additionally, this procurement highlights ongoing opportunities within public infrastructure and the legal support required to navigate developmental challenges.
