Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Gambling Commission is procuring legal services to complete existing casework that was previously instructed under Lot 1 of its own legal services framework, which has expired. The requirement is being delivered in the West Midlands and falls within the legal services category. The work is intended to maintain continuity for ongoing Commission casework rather than establish a new general legal services requirement. The buying organisation is the Gambling Commission, based in Birmingham. The selected supplier is providing services for the Commission’s existing matters under a public sector legal services framework arrangement.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. The Gambling Commission used a selective direct award through the Government Commercial Agency’s Public Sector Legal Services Framework RM6240, described as a call-off from a framework agreement. The submission deadline was 2 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC. Capital Law Limited was awarded the contract on 12 May 2026 for an estimated £3,000,000, in GBP. The contract period runs from 12 May 2026 to 11 May 2029. The stated amount is an estimate of work delivered under the contract; actual spend may differ, and the Commission guarantees no minimum level of spend.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement indicates demand for substantial legal support for Gambling Commission casework in the West Midlands. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability to handle existing and potentially complex public-sector legal matters, with sufficient capacity to provide continuity across a multi-year engagement. Access to, and compliance with, the relevant public-sector legal services framework route would also be important, since this requirement was placed through a framework call-off and direct award. The opportunity was assessed as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that the buyer expects a larger established legal services provider with the resources to support the Commission’s workload.
