Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Costs Lawyer Services" framework was initiated by the Crown Commercial Service and is aimed at providing legal services to the Public Sector in England and Wales. The procurement method used was an open procedure, with the tender period concluding on 26 April 2019. The contract has a total value of £64 million and is structured into three lots, covering general costs law services, clinical negligence specialist services, and security clearance specialist services. The framework commenced on 6 August 2019 and is set to last for 24 months, with options for two additional extensions of 12 months each.

This tender provides significant opportunities for business growth, especially for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the legal sector. Businesses that specialise in costs law and have experience in providing services to public sector clients will be particularly well-suited to compete for the various lots of this framework. Participation can enhance market visibility and lead to long-term contracts with public authorities, thereby fostering expansion and increased revenue potential.
