The Department for Transport (DfTc) has completed a tender process titled "P4104095 Legal Advisers for Transport Infrastructure Planning Unit," aimed at procuring legal services. This procurement falls under the selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement within the Legal Services Framework (Panel RM6179, Lot 1). The tender process is categorised under CPV code 79100000 for legal services and covers delivery addresses globally, including the United Kingdom. The key dates include the tender's completion as of early May 2025, and the active contract period begins on 15th May 2024, set to conclude on 14th May 2026.

With a contract valued at £150,000, suitable businesses must demonstrate experience in legal services frameworks and an adept understanding of international delivery requirements. Despite an exclusion of SMEs and VCSEs from this tender, larger legal entities with a robust portfolio in transport infrastructure advisory can leverage government contracts like this for substantial business development and sector expansion.
