Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, managed by Ofgem, focused on acquiring legal services under an open procedure. The tender, titled "Employment Lawyer," was classified under the legal services industry category, aiming to support HR-related contractual arrangements. With a contract value of £156,000, the services were sought for locations including the British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. The process reached the award stage, with the contract awarded to Deloitte on 7th October 2025, and the contract period extends from 8th October 2025 to 31st May 2026. The tender primarily targeted micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and was open until 1st January 2025.

This procurement presents opportunities for entities specialising in legal advisory services, particularly those focusing on employment and HR matters. Firms capable of providing restructuring advice, managing performance issues, and addressing general staff enquiries can leverage this as a growth opportunity. Legal firms looking to expand their services on both domestic and international fronts would find this tender appealing, given the wide geographical scope involved. The involvement of a prominent client like Ofgem further enhances the tender’s attractiveness, positioning potential awardees for future government contracts.
