Summary of the contracting process

The Government Legal Department is procuring an eDisclosure service for legal work across the United Kingdom. The requirement covers the provision of services that support the identification, handling and disclosure of electronically stored information in legal matters. It is categorised as legal services, under CPV 79100000, and sits within the wider professional legal-services market. The Government Legal Department is the buying organisation, based in London. The service is intended for delivery in the United Kingdom rather than at a single named site, so relevant suppliers should be able to support work across the department’s national operating environment and its legal casework. This is a services opportunity, not a goods supply or construction project, and is relevant to providers of managed eDisclosure, document review and associated litigation-support services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Legastat Ltd on 21 August 2026 for £107,438 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 30 September 2029. The tender submission deadline was 21 August 2026 at 5pm. The award records Legastat Ltd as the successful supplier and the award is active. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off route; the published information identifies the procurement as a legal-services contract but does not set out separate quality or price weightings. The opportunity was designated as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates established demand within the Government Legal Department for outsourced eDisclosure support over a multi-year period. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability in electronic disclosure, document processing, review workflows and litigation support, with the operational controls needed to handle sensitive legal information for a government legal service. The successful supplier is recorded as a large organisation, indicating that the requirement is suited to providers with substantial delivery capacity, robust information-governance arrangements and the ability to manage sustained national demand. Suppliers should also understand how to operate through framework call-offs, since this was the route used for the procurement. Relevant experience supporting complex legal matters and coordinating reliable, scalable service delivery would strengthen a competitor’s position when this requirement returns to market.
