Summary of the contracting process

The Post Office has completed a public procurement process for legal services, classified under the CPV code 79100000. Located in London, the procurement stage was in the Award phase as of 22 November 2024. The procurement method used was a single tender action, suitable for contracts below the threshold. Key dates include the end of the tender period on 1 September 2024 and the contract period starting on 25 September 2024 and ending on 24 December 2025. The total value of the contract awarded is £57,139.20, and the supplier chosen for this contract is PINSENT MASONS LLP.

This tender presents growth opportunities for large legal firms looking to engage in government contracts. The direct procurement method indicates a targeted approach by the Post Office, favouring established, large-scale legal service providers. Businesses with robust capabilities in legal services and an interest in government projects would find this contract particularly lucrative. SMEs and VCSEs may find less opportunity here due to the contract's scale and nature.
