Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust procured legal professional services for its healthcare organisation. The requirement is categorised as legal services (CPV 79100000). The listed delivery location is CM20 1QX, in Harlow, with the procurement also indicating delivery across the United Kingdom and wider locations. The work was awarded under a framework arrangement. This is a service requirement rather than a purchase of goods or construction work, and is specifically for the Trust’s legal services in 2026/27.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Bevan Brittan LLP. The award date was 27 April 2026. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The awarded value is £265,000. The stated estimated procurement range was £100,000 to £265,000. The Trust used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The submission deadline was 1 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The procurement was not divided into separate lots. The available evaluation information does not set out award criteria, so the basis for comparing suppliers cannot be described further.

This award demonstrates demand for external legal services from The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust, delivered through a framework call-off and at a scale suited to an established legal services provider. Bevan Brittan LLP, recorded as a large supplier, was selected. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to demonstrate the capacity to support a hospital trust across its legal needs and to deliver within a defined, one-year service period. Experience serving NHS organisations and familiarity with healthcare-sector legal work would be commercially relevant capabilities, although the procurement does not state these as formal selection requirements. The route also makes framework access an important commercial consideration: suppliers outside the relevant framework would not compete through this call-off.}
