Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

BIP Solutions Limited procured legal services for Project Fresh. The requirement was delivered through the Government Commercial Agency’s RM6360 Legal Panel for Government, Lot 3, covering finance and high-risk or innovation work. The procurement description identifies legal support for the project but gives no further detail on specific legal tasks. The buyer is BIP Solutions Limited, based in Sheffield, and delivery was in Yorkshire and the Humber. This is a professional legal-services requirement, rather than a general business-support or financial-services contract.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to DLA Piper UK LLP. The award was made on 30 September 2026, for £25,000. The contract period runs from 1 October to 30 November 2026. The estimated tender value was also £25,000. The procurement used the RM6360 Legal Panel for Government, Lot 3, for finance and high-risk or innovation legal work; the specific procedure is recorded as not disclosed. The tender deadline was 30 September 2026. No lot breakdown or evaluation criteria are stated. The award is active, and the tender is marked complete.

This award shows demand from BIP Solutions Limited for legal advice connected with finance and high-risk or innovation matters, delivered through the Government Commercial Agency’s RM6360 Legal Panel for Government. A credible competitor when this requirement next reaches the market would need to demonstrate relevant legal expertise across those areas and the ability to provide focused support to a defined project. Familiarity with the panel route and its Lot 3 scope would also be relevant. The selected supplier was a large law firm, so firms competing for similar work should be prepared to evidence the capability and capacity to handle specialist commercial legal matters for a public-sector-related buyer. The available information does not establish particular accreditations, staffing levels or experience thresholds.
