Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council commissioned legal advisory services for risk management relating to the area east of Otley Bypass. The work is classified as legal advisory and information services (CPV 79140000) and is delivered in Yorkshire and the Humber. The requirement was handled as a call-off from the Crown Commercial Service Public Sector Legal Services Framework, rather than as a standalone open competition. The named supplier, DAC Beachcroft LLP, is based in Leeds. The procurement concerns legal support for a specific risk-management matter; the published description does not define further tasks or deliverables.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to DAC Beachcroft LLP. Leeds City Council used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded on 31 August 2026, following a submission deadline of 25 August 2026. Its value is £48,000. The contract period runs from 1 September to 31 December 2026. This was a below-threshold award. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, but not for voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are recorded, so the basis on which the supplier was selected cannot be described beyond the framework call-off route.

This award demonstrates demand from Leeds City Council for legal advice on risk management connected with infrastructure around Otley Bypass, delivered through its public-sector legal services framework. Legal firms with relevant risk-management advisory expertise and the ability to support council work in the Leeds area would be well placed to compete for a comparable requirement. The selected firm is identified as an SME, and the procurement was marked suitable for SMEs, indicating that this type of work was not confined to large providers. A credible competitor would need to understand the local authority context and be able to deliver focused legal support through the relevant framework route. The award establishes the scale as a discrete, short-term advisory engagement rather than a broad legal services contract.
