Summary of the contracting process

BIP SOLUTIONS LIMITED commissioned legal services for Project Red, described as “Project Red NRIL”. The requirement covered legal advice and support under the Government Commercial Agency’s RM6360 Legal Panel, specifically Lot 3 for finance and high-risk or innovation matters. The procurement falls within the legal services category, with CPV code 79100000. The work was associated with Sheffield and delivery in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom. This is a professional services requirement for a legal practice able to advise on financially complex, high-risk or innovative projects, rather than a goods supply or construction opportunity. The named buyer is BIP SOLUTIONS LIMITED, based at Steel City House, West Street, Sheffield.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 28 May 2026 to Hogan Lovell for £80,000 GBP. The contract ran from 29 May 2026 to 3 August 2026. The requirement was procured through the Government Commercial Agency RM6360 Legal Panel, using Lot 3 for finance and high-risk or innovation work. The procurement method was recorded as “Other - Not Disclosed”. The tender submission deadline was 28 May 2026. Hogan Lovell received the active award for the full stated requirement. The process was for services and was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The procurement’s tender status is complete.

This award indicates demand from BIP SOLUTIONS LIMITED for specialist legal support on finance, high-risk and innovation matters. A credible future competitor would need a legal practice with relevant expertise across those areas, capable of advising on complex projects rather than providing general administrative legal services. The successful supplier was Hogan Lovell, identified as a large organisation, and the requirement was routed through the RM6360 Legal Panel, Lot 3. This points to the importance of panel eligibility and experience delivering government-related legal work through an established public-sector route. Firms considering similar work for this buyer should assess their capacity, specialist finance and risk teams, innovation-related advisory experience and ability to meet panel requirements.
