The procurement process for the "Trinity Chapel Litigation" project was conducted by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). This initiative, categorised under Business services such as law and consulting, was aimed at providing litigation services for a settlement. The process followed a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, and reached the award stage, with the contract period spanning from 1st September 2025 to 1st December 2025. The buying organisation is located in London, with the postal code SW1A 2BQ.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the legal and consulting services industry, particularly SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) which are highlighted as suitable candidates. The awarded contract, valued at £10,000, was granted to Shakespeare Martineau, a firm with a strong presence in Birmingham.
