Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process "Property Legal Services 2024" was conducted by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), located in Bristol, England. This process falls under the category of legal services within the industry classification CPV 79100000. The procurement was conducted through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period concluded on 11 December 2023, with the award status finalised as active. The contract, valued at £1,980,000, is set to commence on 1 May 2024 and will run until 30 April 2028. Services are expected to be delivered across various locations including the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, British Overseas Territories, the Isle of Man, and other regions globally.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in property-focused legal services, especially those large-scale firms capable of managing extensive contracts and providing services across multiple regions. Veale Wasbrough Vizards, a large legal firm from Bristol, was awarded the contract, indicating the project's scale and scope require substantial expertise and resources. While the contract's framework agreement nature limits eligibility to pre-selected service providers, businesses that are part of such frameworks should consider similar future opportunities for growth and expansion in the public sector legal services market.
