Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport (DfTc) has successfully completed a public procurement process for the provision of legal advisory services, specifically designed to support the Passenger Services Market across both the North and South of England. The procurement, classified under CPV code 79111000, was conducted via a direct method through a single tender action below the threshold. The contract, valued at £600,000, was awarded during the active stage of the procurement process, with the contract period running from 1st August 2021 until 1st July 2022. Key dates include the end of the tender period on 1st July 2021, with the award notice published on 9th July 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for law firms and legal consultants, particularly those with experience in public transport or regulatory compliance. As the contract is awarded to Addleshaw Goddard LLP, it suggests a preference for established firms; however, smaller entities may still find opportunities to collaborate or provide niche services within this scope. Those businesses aligned with legal advisory services, especially in the context of transportation law, will be well-suited to compete in future tenders related to similar services.
