Summary of the contracting process

Cambridgeshire County Council has completed the procurement process for the "Cambourne to Cambridge Legal Support" project. This initiative, which falls under the legal services industry category, aims to provide legal assistance for the preparation, submission, and examination of Transport and Works Act Orders for the Cambourne to Cambridge project. The selective procurement was a call-off from the CCS Framework RM6240 General Legal Services. The total contract value amounts to £360,000, covering the period from 1st April 2023 to 1st April 2025. The project is located in the East of England and was open to SMEs and VCSEs, reflecting its suitability for small to medium-sized enterprises and social enterprises.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in legal services, particularly those experienced in large-scale infrastructure projects. The awarded contract to Womble Bond Dickinson (UK) LLP indicates a preference for established firms capable of delivering comprehensive legal support. However, the procurement's STEM and VCSE suitability criteria highlight the council's openness to diverse business types, fostering opportunities for growth among small to medium enterprises and voluntary, community, and social enterprises. Businesses in the legal field looking to expand their portfolio in public infrastructure projects would find this contract particularly advantageous.
