Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process has been conducted by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) for the award of a Property Legal Services Contract, valued at £531,000. This procurement exercise, classified under business services related to law, was initiated through a further competition under the Crown Commercial Service framework, specifically RM3786 for General Legal Advice Services. The procurement stage was completed on 15 November 2017, and the contract is scheduled to commence on 1 April 2018, lasting until 28 February 2021. The services will cover delivery addresses across various regions including the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, and the European territories.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for legal service providers looking to expand their portfolio in public contracts. Businesses with expertise in property-related legal services, particularly those operating under the Crown Commercial Service framework, would be well-suited to compete for such contracts. Given the large scale of the awarded contract and the DWP’s focus on legal services, this would also be an opportunity for larger firms, such as Dentons UKMEA LLP, to strengthen their market presence while smaller legal practices might wish to consider partnerships or collaborative bids to meet the requirements effectively.
