Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement contracting process described here pertains to Sellafield Limited, a UK-based organisation located in West Cumbria, and involves the creation of a Legal Services Panel to provide legal support and advice. This procurement, classified under the industry category of Legal Services (CPV 79100000), covers the North West region of the United Kingdom. The process has moved to the Award stage, with the total contract valued at £1,750,000. The procurement was conducted using a selective method, specifically through a call-off from a framework agreement. Notable dates include the contract period starting from 1st July 2024 to 30th June 2026, with the award published on 13th August 2024.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in legal services, particularly well-established firms equipped to handle large-scale legal advisory needs for critical infrastructure projects. The awarded contract to Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP indicates the potential for lucrative long-term engagements and strategic partnerships for similarly sized and capable firms. Smaller businesses and VCSEs (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises) might find it less suitable due to the scale and specialised requirements of the project, but larger legal firms can leverage this as a substantial business growth opportunity.
