Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has completed a procurement process titled "External Legal Support to MOD NEC Contract," falling under the Legal advisory services industry category. The project called for legal support and advice to assist in drafting and reviewing procurement documentation for a MOD NEC project, covering regions including the West Midlands and London in the United Kingdom. The procurement was conducted through a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement. Key dates include the end of the tender period on 16th September 2024 and the contract period running from 16th January 2025 to 16th January 2026. The contract, valued at GBP 40,000, was awarded to Mills and Reeve LLP.

This tender presents an excellent business growth opportunity for legal firms experienced in providing advisory services, especially those proficient in handling public sector procurement documentation. The MOD's utilisation of a framework agreement for selective procurement signifies high standards and the need for expert support, thus favouring well-established legal service providers over smaller SMEs or VCSEs. Companies specialising in legal advisory with a robust track record in government contracts would be best suited to compete for similar opportunities within this sector.
