Summary of the contracting process

The City of Doncaster Council (CDC) has completed the procurement process for a Legal Services Panel Framework 2025. This framework, classified under CPV code 79100000 for legal services, is designed to fulfil the needs of CDC, with an extended availability to South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA). The framework comprises two lots: Lot 1 (General Legal Services) with an estimated contract value of £670,000, and Lot 2 (Adult Care Legal Services) valued at £1,000,000. This open procedure commenced on February 11, 2025, and will conclude on February 10, 2028, with a potential 12-month extension. The procurement involved an open method and targeted small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The final decision was published on February 20, 2025, following the tender period end date of December 20, 2024.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs in the legal services sector, given its substantial contract values and extended regional scope. Organisations experienced in general and adult care legal services can gain long-term stability and increased visibility by participating. The council has appointed a maximum of four advisors for each lot, with selected suppliers including Sharpe Pritchard LLP, Weightmans LLP, Ward Hadaway LLP, Geldards LLP, and Browne Jacobson LLP. The framework's broad geographical reach and the potential for renewal provide additional incentives for businesses looking to establish or strengthen their presence in public sector legal services.
