Summary of the contracting process

The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB), based in Peterborough, has completed a procurement process for the provision of legal services. This contract, valued at £500,000, was awarded on 24th June 2026, following the closing of the tender period on the same day. The contract period extends from 25th June 2026 to 25th June 2028. The procurement was categorised under the 'services' industry and falls within the legal services sector. The procurement method was specified as 'Other'. The services required are to be delivered in the East of England region of the United Kingdom.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for growth within the legal services industry, particularly for large firms with comprehensive capabilities and a presence in the East of England. Although this particular contract was awarded to Addleshaw Goddard LLP, it highlights the demand for specialised legal services within the public sector. Such opportunities are beneficial for firms looking to strengthen their portfolios in governmental and training-related legal support. As the contract does not favour SMEs or VCSEs, larger, established firms may find this type of procurement process more aligned with their strategic growth paths.
