Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills (Ofsted) procured temporary paralegal staffing for work delivered in London. The requirement is for a temporary paralegal rather than a broader legal-services contract.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Law Absolute. Ofsted placed the requirement through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 24 August 2026, at a value of £36,544.40, for a contract period from 24 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The stated initial term runs over that period; the maximum term extends to 30 September 2027, with a maximum value of £67,529.21. The tender submission deadline was 17 August 2026 at 5pm. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to compete.

This award demonstrates Ofsted’s demand for temporary paralegal staffing in London, procured through a framework call-off. Suppliers well placed to compete for a similar requirement would be able to provide suitable paralegal personnel on a temporary basis and deliver the staffing in London. The procurement was considered suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, so this type of requirement is not limited to large suppliers.
