Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process carried out by National Highways Limited was for the provision of temporary additional capabilities within their Regulatory and Information Team in Legal Services, aiming to effectively manage coroner's inquests, liaise with the Police regarding related criminal litigation, and provide health and safety compliance advice. Classified under the industry category "Legal advisory and representation services," this selective procurement was executed through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £50,000, was awarded to Browne Jacobson LLP, starting from 23rd June 2026 and ending on 31st December 2026. The tender, with an initial completion status, included delivery locations across the UK, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, and the rest of the world.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in legal advisory services, particularly those with expertise in regulatory and compliance support. Companies already part of existing framework agreements, especially those capable of extending temporary resource allotment, would be well-positioned to compete. Although this specific contract favoured larger organisations like Browne Jacobson LLP, similar tenders might open avenues for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to grow by enhancing their service offerings and network capabilities in the domain of legal services tailored for public sector clients.
