Summary of the contracting process

The Merseyside Waste Disposal Authority has concluded a public procurement process to secure Legal Consultancy Services, classified under the CPV code 79100000 (Legal services). The procurement involved an open procedure culminating in a contract valued at £2,700,000. The services will be delivered in the North West region of the United Kingdom, with the contract commencing on 30th September 2024 and lasting till 30th November 2027. The award stage was finalised on 9th December 2024, marking the end of the tender process which initially sought proposals until 1st January 2024.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in legal consultancy within the public sector. The substantial contract value and the extended service period provide a stable revenue stream, ideal for large legal firms capable of managing complex legal frameworks. While the suitability was not aimed at SMEs or VCSEs, larger enterprises such as DLA Piper UK LLP, the awarded supplier, stand to benefit from such government contracts by bolstering their public sector portfolio, enhancing credibility, and securing a foothold in the long-term legal advisory space.
