Summary of the contracting process

The Post Office Limited, based in London, has completed a procurement process for corporate legal support, specifically short-term assistance from a Corporate Senior Legal Counsel. This procurement falls under the Legal services category (CPV: 79100000) and took place using a direct procurement method, specifically a single tender action below the threshold. The contract, valued at £71,142.50, was officially awarded on 23rd July 2024 and spans from 24th July 2024 to 25th October 2024. The buyer's location is EC2V 7ER, London, England.

This procurement presents opportunities for large legal firms capable of quickly deploying senior legal counsel for short-term projects. Such firms, particularly those with experience in providing corporate legal support, can leverage this tender to demonstrate expertise, build their portfolio with a high-profile client like the Post Office Limited, and potentially secure future contracts. SMEs and VCSEs were not marked as suitable for this specific tender, thereby favouring larger, established entities in the legal services sector.
