Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the provision of legal services by the buying organisation, NS&I, has been completed. This award is part of the Crown Commercial Services Framework Legal Services Panel RM6179, Lot 1, focusing on general legal advice and services. The process was carried out using a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, awarded to Bevan Brittan LLP, spans 24 months starting from 1 April 2025, with an optional extension of 8 months until the end of March 2027. This initiative falls under the 'services' category within the legal industry, primarily covering the Yorkshire and the Humber region, with administrative operations from Sanctuary Buildings, London.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for large-scale legal firms, like Bevan Brittan LLP, looking to enhance their business growth by serving public sector clients. Since the procurement was not suitable for SMEs or VCSEs, it is ideally suited to businesses with the capacity to operate under the stringent requirements of a government framework. Engaging in such contracts can bolster a firm's reputation and establish its expertise within public sector legal advisory and representation services, allowing for further opportunities under similar frameworks.
