Summary of the contracting process

The Gambling Commission has recently completed a public procurement process for the provision of legal services, under the framework of the Government Commercial Agency's Public Sector Legal Services Framework RM6240. This selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, aimed to ensure the completion of ongoing casework. The awarded tender has a significant total value of £3,000,000. The contract was awarded to Capital Law Limited and spans from 12th May 2026 to 11th May 2029. The services will be delivered in the West Midlands, United Kingdom, under the industry category of legal services, classified as CPV 79100000. The Gambling Commission, located in Birmingham, serves as the buyer in this completed award stage.

This contract offers a substantial opportunity for providers of legal services, especially those experienced with public sector frameworks, to understand the dynamics of engaging in selective procurement processes with statutory bodies like the Gambling Commission. Although the tender was not specifically marked for SMEs or voluntary community and social enterprises, it provides insight into large-scale legal procurement processes, which corporates without these restrictions might find beneficial. Engaging with similar frameworks can lead to business expansion, letting firms like Capital Law Limited showcase their capability in handling extensive casework under a structured legal framework.
