Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport procured legal advisory services for the HS2 Phase 2 Disposal Programme. The requirement covers legal services (CPV 79100000) supporting the disposal programme, delivered across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and other international locations. The work is categorised as services and was bought by the Department for Transport, based at Great Minster House in London. It was structured as a call-off from the Crown Commercial Service Legal Panel for Government, specifically Lot 1: Core Legal Services, rather than as a standalone open-market procurement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective mini-competition under the Crown Commercial Service RM6360 Legal Panel for Government, Lot 1: Core Legal Services. The tender deadline was 5 August 2026 at 12:00. Bevan Brittan LLP was awarded the contract on 18 August 2026 for £3,200,000 excluding VAT. The call-off contract runs from 19 August 2026 to 18 August 2029, with an option to extend for a further 12 months. The commercial agreement’s terms and conditions apply. The award is recorded as active, and the contract value and period match the original procurement details.

This award indicates demand from the Department for Transport for substantial, panel-based legal support connected with the disposal of HS2 Phase 2 assets or interests. A credible future competitor would need to be an established legal services provider eligible to work through the relevant government legal panel and its core legal services route. It would need the capacity to support a complex public-sector disposal programme, advise across transactions and related legal issues, and work at national and international locations where required. The selected supplier’s large-firm scale also indicates the importance of sufficient specialist personnel, resilience and coordinated delivery for a multi-year government engagement.
