Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport (DfTc) has entered the award stage of a selective procurement process for legal services, offering a Direct Award contract to Addleshaw Goddard LLP. The contract, valued at up to £35,000 excluding VAT, pertains to the provision of legal advisers for workforce pay and productivity. This services contract falls under the CPV classification code 79100000 for legal services. Commencing on 8th April 2026, it will run for 12 months until 7th April 2027. The procurement method involves a call-off from a framework agreement, specifically under Panel RM6360 Legal Panel for Government Lot 5: Rail Legal Services. The services are required across various locations, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for legal firms specializing in workforce and productivity-related legal services, as well as those with expertise in the rail sector. The size and scope of the framework agreement may particularly benefit large-scale legal firms with the ability to address diverse geographic locations. While the current award specifies a direct award to Addleshaw Goddard LLP, businesses considering future tenders in similar categories can gain insights on the competitive landscape and the necessary qualifications for successful participation in government contracts. Firms capable of delivering multidisciplinary legal services in various jurisdictions are well-suited to compete in such opportunities, positioning themselves for growth through collaboration with government departments and expanding their footprint in public sector contracts.
