Summary of the contracting process

The Government Legal Department (GLD) has completed a procurement process for outsourcing litigation and legal process works for various government bodies, including the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), the Ministry of Justice (MOJ), the Home Office, and the Rural Payments Authority (RPA). This contract, identified as GLD045 2024, falls under the legal services industry category and is valued at GBP 1,250,000. The procurement, conducted via a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement, was awarded on 20th October 2024. The contract period is set to run from 8th November 2024 to 7th November 2026, with services to be delivered primarily in the North West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for growth, especially for businesses specialising in legal services. Although a large firm, Keoghs LLP, has already been awarded the contract, smaller enterprises and SMEs with relevant expertise may find similar future opportunities with the GLD and other governmental bodies. Participating in such tenders can provide significant exposure and experience in dealing with high-profile government cases, thus elevating business profiles and potentially leading to further contracts within the public sector.
