Summary of the contracting process

The Government Legal Department procured eDisclosure services for its legal work. eDisclosure covers the identification, collection, processing, review and production of electronically stored information for legal proceedings and investigations. The requirement is categorised as legal services and is delivered in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is the Government Legal Department, based at 102 Petty France, London. The procurement concerns services rather than goods or construction work, and the requirement supports the department’s handling of digitally held evidence and related disclosure activities.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 5 June 2026 to Epiq Systems Ltd. The award value is £165,240.50 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 6 June 2026 to 25 March 2027. The original tender deadline was 5 June 2026 at 5pm. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open competition. The procurement was evaluated as a legal-services requirement, with the award made to Epiq Systems Ltd. The awarded contract is active, and the published outcome records one selected supplier.

This award demonstrates demand from the Government Legal Department for a substantial, specialist eDisclosure service delivered across the United Kingdom. Competitors seeking similar work with this buyer would need the operational capability to manage electronically stored information through the disclosure lifecycle, including secure handling, processing, document review and production for legal matters. They would also need sufficient organisational capacity to support a large public-sector legal department and to deliver reliably under a framework call-off. The requirement is not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, so businesses should assess whether their scale, infrastructure and established public-sector or legal-services delivery model are comparable to the selected supplier.
