Summary of the contracting process

The Arts Council of England in Manchester is seeking to procure legal advisory and information services related to their Hive office move under the title "GB-Manchester: ACE 651 STA - Legal Services Hive office move." This procurement falls under the services category, specifically within the legal advisory sector, classified under CPV code 79140000. The tendering process has concluded and the contract was awarded on 29th May 2024. The contract period is set from 24th June 2024 to 31st March 2025, with a total value of GBP 10,000. This procurement is particularly accommodating for Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs), although it is not marked as suitable for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs).

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in legal advisory services, particularly those experienced in property law and office relocations. The awarded contract demonstrates how firms can tap into niche sectors within public procurement, fostering growth and expertise. Given that the winning supplier, TLT Solicitors, is a large-scale enterprise, other large law firms with a robust background in similar legal services would find such contracts highly suitable for competition. Engagement in such tenders not only provides immediate financial benefits but also enhances the company’s portfolio in the public sector, paving the way for future opportunities in government contracts.
