Summary of the contracting process

The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) is the buying organisation for the "Housing Development Funding Agreements" contract, a recently awarded tender in the legal services category, designated by the CPV code 79100000. The procurement process involved a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement. Located in the West Midlands region, this contract aims to prepare and deliver template housing development funding agreements to the WMCA. The contract period runs from 27 May 2025 to 26 May 2026, with Bevan Brittan LLP, a large-scale supplier, serving as the contractor. The award was made active on 27 June 2025 and published on 22 July 2025. The contract holds a total value of £90,000.

This procurement presents opportunities for growth to businesses involved in providing specialised legal services, particularly those with experience in framework agreements and public sector contracts. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could find the selective procurement method beneficial for participating within a controlled competitive environment. Although Bevan Brittan LLP has been awarded this contract, similar opportunities may arise for legal firms that can craft comprehensive housing agreements and understand the frameworks necessary for local government collaborations. Such contracts can pave the way for lasting relationships with public authorities, promising additional business prospects and stability.
