Summary of the contracting process

Homes England commissioned legal advice for the Brookleigh project. This is a legal services requirement, with the work identified for delivery in England. The project-specific scope is described as legal advice; no further subject areas or particular legal disciplines are set out. Homes England is the buying organisation. The procurement sits within its legal panel arrangement, indicating a requirement for external legal support connected to Brookleigh rather than a general purchase of goods or construction work. The requirement is relevant to law firms and legal practices able to advise on projects of this kind and support a public-sector client. TLT Solicitors was selected to provide the advice.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to TLT Solicitors. The award was made on 27 April 2025. The contract period runs from 5 May 2025 to 7 June 2028. The awarded contract value is £150,000. The original estimated procurement value was also £150,000. The submission deadline was 27 April 2025. The published information does not set out a competitive procedure or evaluation criteria: the procurement method is recorded as not applicable. The requirement is presented as a single project-specific legal advice contract, rather than separate lots. The outcome is one award to one supplier; no separate award values apply.

This award shows that Homes England procures external legal advice for individual projects through its legal panel, with Brookleigh as the specific requirement. Firms seeking to compete for comparable work for this buyer would need credible project-related legal expertise and the capacity to advise on a defined project over a multi-year contract. The award went to TLT Solicitors, a large law firm, providing an indication of the supplier selected for this requirement; it does not establish that only large firms can compete. The stated suitability flags do not identify the opportunity as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The procurement offers evidence of demand for project-focused legal support within Homes England’s panel arrangements, rather than evidence of broader legal or unrelated services.
