Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

BIP SOLUTIONS LIMITED procured legal services for Project White, using the Government Commercial Agency’s RM6360 Legal Panel for Government, Lot 3: Finance and High Risk / Innovation. The requirement is for legal advice and support in finance and higher-risk or innovative matters. The procurement is categorised as legal services (CPV 79100000). The stated delivery location is Yorkshire and the Humber, with the buyer based in Sheffield. The description identifies the panel and its relevant lot but does not set out particular legal workstreams or deliverables. This is a service requirement rather than a purchase of goods or works.

The procurement is complete and awarded. Ashurst Perkins Coie UK LLP was selected, with an award value of £32,000. The award date was 8 September 2026, and the contract period runs from 10 September to 30 October 2026. The tender submission deadline was 8 September 2026. The estimated procurement value was also £32,000. The requirement was placed through the Government Commercial Agency’s RM6360 Legal Panel for Government, Lot 3, covering Finance and High Risk / Innovation; the recorded procurement-method detail is “Other - Not Specified”. The supplier was selected through this process, but the release does not state the evaluation criteria or explain how bids were assessed. The tender is marked complete and the award active.

This award shows that BIP SOLUTIONS LIMITED buys legal support for finance and high-risk or innovation-related matters through the Government Commercial Agency’s RM6360 Legal Panel for Government, specifically Lot 3. Suppliers targeting a future requirement from this buyer would need to demonstrate relevant legal capability in those areas and the ability to deliver focused advice and support against a defined project. The selected supplier is a large law firm, indicating that an established legal-services provider has delivered this requirement, although the award does not set out mandatory firm-size, accreditation, staffing or experience thresholds. Credibility will therefore rest on demonstrable finance and innovation-related legal expertise, suitable capacity for project work, and the ability to work through the buyer’s panel route.
