Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by the Government Legal Department, involved the tender titled "Secondment of Konstantinoua Demertzis," focusing on legal advisory and representation services under the industry category of Legal Services (CPV: 79110000). This contract is situated in the United Kingdom and was conducted through a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender process was completed with the award being made on 1st December 2025 and published on 23rd December 2025. The contract period extends from 2nd December 2025 to 30th April 2026. The value of the contract is £37,500 GBP.

This tender provides strategic growth opportunities for SMEs, particularly those specialising in legal advisory services. Given the selective procurement approach and the nature of the service, experienced legal firms equipped to offer both advisory and representation services would be well-positioned to compete. While the tender is now complete with Burges Salmon LLP successfully awarded the contract, businesses with similar qualifications and service offerings should consider engaging with framework agreements to increase their eligibility and presence in future similar procurement opportunities.
