Summary of the contracting process

The Government Legal Department has initiated a procurement process titled "GLD013 2020 - EU Negotiations Legal Services" to secure legal services regarding the UK's trade agreement negotiations with the European Union. The procurement method employed is selective, with a total contract value of £500,000, and the procurement period originally ended on 1st July 2020. The contract is set to commence on 9th July 2020 and will last until 8th July 2022, with services being delivered in London, England.

This contract presents significant opportunities for legal service providers, particularly those with expertise in international trade law and public sector engagements. Given the scale of the contract, larger firms with established capabilities to provide comprehensive legal advice in complex negotiations would be best positioned to compete for similar tenders in the future. Additionally, firms that have experience working with governmental departments or on issues related to Brexit may find themselves particularly well-suited to engage in this procurement process.
