Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Shared Business Services Limited procured legal advice and related legal services for delivery in the United Kingdom. The requirement falls within the legal services category and was made for UK Research and Innovation through the Legal Services Panel Framework. The work is described as core legal services, covering advice supplied by an appointed legal practice under the framework arrangement. The buying organisation is UK Shared Business Services Limited, based in Swindon. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. It is therefore relevant to legal practices able to provide professional legal advice to public-sector organisations across the UK.

This procurement has been awarded and completed as a direct award call-off from the Legal Services Panel Framework, RM6360 Lot 1 – Core Legal Services for UKRI. The award decision was made on 20 July 2026, following a submission deadline of 16 July 2026 at 11:00. Burgess Salmon LLP was appointed supplier for £15,000 excluding any stated adjustments, with an award period from 20 July 2026 to 3 August 2026. The tender’s estimated value was also £15,000. The procurement used a selective procedure through the framework rather than an open competition. The recorded tender status is complete and the award status is active.

For competing legal practices, this award provides a clear indication of demand from UK Shared Business Services Limited for short-duration core legal advice delivered through an established public-sector framework. A credible future supplier would need to provide relevant legal services to UK Research and Innovation, satisfy the requirements for appointment to the Legal Services Panel Framework, and operate effectively within a direct-award call-off route. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so a firm does not need to be a large corporate practice to be commercially relevant. Firms with public-sector legal experience, framework access and capacity to deliver focused advice at modest scale are the closest fit.
