Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport (DfTc) has recently completed a procurement process to appoint legal advisers under a call-off contract, part of the Crown Commercial Services RM6179 Legal Services Panel Lot 1. The procurement utilised a selective method, specifically a mini competition within a framework agreement, focusing on legal services. TLT LLP, a large-scale legal firm, was awarded the contract, which is valued at £500,000, excluding VAT. This contract commenced on 21st July 2025 and is set to expire on 30th November 2027, covering regions such as the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, and Europe, among others.

This tender offers a robust opportunity for businesses in the legal services industry to engage with high-profile governmental contracts, fostering growth and enhancing reputational capital. While this specific opportunity is tailored for established firms, given the procurement's scale and nature, such engagements can also position smaller or niche firms for future partnerships within government procurement frameworks. Legal service providers with experience in navigating public sector requirements and framework agreements would find themselves well-suited to compete in similar tenders and expand their service offerings through public sector engagements.
