Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham City Council commissioned legal advisory services for the Druid’s Heath Estate Regeneration Scheme, specifically providing additional support under an existing contract. The requirement concerns professional legal advice connected with an estate regeneration programme and the continuation of related support. The work is classified as legal advisory services and falls within the services category. Delivery relates to Birmingham and the wider West Midlands. The Council is the buying organisation. The arrangement is relevant to legal practices and consultancy businesses with experience advising public-sector clients on regeneration schemes, contracts and associated legal matters. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it potentially relevant to smaller specialist firms as well as larger multidisciplinary advisers.

The procurement is complete and the contract uplift was awarded to WSP UK Limited on 15 July 2026. It was conducted as a selective call-off from the NHS Shared Business Services Healthcare Planning, Construction Consultancy and Ancillary Services Framework Agreement. The tender deadline was 3 January 2023 at 12:00 UTC. The awarded modification value is £80,000, and the corresponding contract period runs from 17 April 2025 to 8 August 2026. The original contract value was £395,756; an earlier modification was valued at £85,000; and the new total contract value is £560,756, all excluding VAT where stated. The later £80,000 increase commenced on 8 June 2026 to maintain continuity of support following unforeseen circumstances and regulatory change.

This award indicates an established public-sector need for legal advice supporting estate regeneration and the management of changing contract requirements. A supplier competing for comparable work with Birmingham City Council would need demonstrable capability in public-sector legal advisory services, regeneration programmes and contract variation work. Experience of maintaining continuity of advice when circumstances change, including responding to regulatory developments, would be relevant. The route also shows the importance of access to, and compliance with, an appropriate public-sector framework for securing this type of call-off. The opportunity was assessed as suitable for SMEs, so a focused specialist practice could be credible where it can evidence the required expertise, capacity and public-sector delivery experience.
