Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "The Provision of Legal Advice Regarding the Railways Pension Scheme" was conducted by the Crown Commercial Service, located in Liverpool, England. This initiative falls under the legal services category and was carried out under a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period concluded on 16th October 2017, while the associated contract has been active from 24th October 2017 and is set to end on 23rd February 2018. The contract was awarded on 20th October 2017 for a total value of £50,000 to Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP.

This tender presents opportunities for firms specialising in legal consultancy, particularly those with experience in pension schemes or similar contexts. Given that the contracting authority is the Crown Commercial Service, businesses with expertise in public sector legal services would be well-positioned to compete. The contract is suitable for larger enterprises, as it does not allow small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) to participate, indicating a preference for established firms capable of handling complex legal advice within the specified timeframe.
