Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Mills & Reeve Extension" is initiated by the Marine and Coastguard Agency (MCA) for the provision of legal services as part of the Radio Network Infrastructure Replacement Programme. The procurement is currently in the award stage, with a completed contract valued at £368,447, set to run from 23rd September 2020 until 20th March 2023. The call-off from a framework agreement allows for continued external legal support, primarily needed due to complex delivery issues anticipated during the programme's rollout, which is located in the South East of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in legal services, particularly those equipped to handle the complexities associated with public sector contracts involving infrastructure projects. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find this tender conducive for expansion, as they can leverage their expertise to address legal challenges such as council wayleave issues and planning permissions during the contract's term. The active engagement with a large-scale supplier like Mills & Reeve LLP indicates a collaborative environment for potential subcontracting opportunities within this framework.
