This contract specifically falls under the industry category of services with a focus on Legal advisory services (CPV: 79111000). The procurement was executed through a selective method as a call-off from a CCS Legal Panel framework agreement, RM6360 Lot 3. The award stage has been completed with the contract awarded to Ashurst LLP for a value of GBP 62,000. Key dates include the award publication on 9th January 2026, the contract period commencing on 23rd December 2025 and concluding on 22nd February 2026. The services will be delivered within the region of London, United Kingdom.

Businesses that specialise in finance and high-risk/innovation legal services will find this opportunity well-aligned with their offerings. While the contract value reflects substantial business growth potential, individual SMEs or VCSEs may not be the intended audience due to the nature of the procurement's scale and complexity.
