Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames recently completed a public procurement process for the project titled "Cambridge Road Estate Regeneration Legal Services." This tender, categorised under Legal Services (CPV: 79100000), was aimed at securing a firm of solicitors to provide legal support for the regeneration of the Cambridge Road Housing Estate in England, United Kingdom. The procurement method employed was a selective procedure, specifically a restricted procedure, with Shoosmiths LLP being awarded the contract. Key dates include the original tender end date on 24th October 2016 and the contract period starting from 4th January 2017 to 3rd January 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for legal service providers experienced in large-scale urban regeneration projects. Companies capable of delivering comprehensive legal counsel, especially those familiar with public sector engagements and housing estate renewals, are well-suited to pursue similar opportunities. Although the procurement process for this particular contract is complete, similar upcoming regeneration or infrastructure projects might offer potential business growth for firms seeking to expand their public sector service offerings. While the contract in question was awarded to a large firm, SMEs and VCSEs might consider exploring subcontracting roles or preparing for future tenders by building relevant expertise.
