This contract involves the secondment of personnel from Ashurst LLP to provide Legal Project Management services to the Litigation Directorate. The procurement falls under the industry category of "Supply services of personnel including temporary staff" and is associated with a contract value of £45,000. The procurement method was selective, utilising a call-off from a framework agreement. The secondment period commenced on the 15th of September 2025 and will conclude on the 13th of March 2026, with the primary location of service delivery being the United Kingdom. The tender was initially scheduled to end on the 4th of September 2025, with the award date being the 12th of September 2025.

This procurement presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in personnel supply services, particularly those experienced in providing temporary or project-related staffing within the legal sector. While the process was selective, such frameworks often allow for longer-term partnerships and potential future opportunities with government entities, which can be advantageous for large firms capable of seconding skilled personnel like Ashurst LLP. Businesses capable of offering tailored legal management solutions or similar niche services could position themselves competitively for this or similar future procurement opportunities. The Government Legal Department's procurement processes can be a prolific avenue for businesses looking to expand their portfolio within the legal services sector.
