Summary of the contracting process

The Serious Fraud Office procured continued legal disclosure and e-discovery work for an existing case. The requirement extends an existing agreement and increases the available funding for case 2, under the RM6336 Lot 2 framework. This is a legal services requirement, including the disclosure work needed in support of a serious fraud investigation. Delivery is in London, at the Serious Fraud Office’s premises on Cockspur Street. The buyer is the Serious Fraud Office, which uses specialist external suppliers to carry out this work. The requirement is a service rather than goods or construction, and is intended for a supplier with the specialist capability to manage legal disclosure and electronic discovery activity connected with an ongoing case.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from the RM6336 Lot 2 framework. Array Ediscovery (UK) Limited was awarded the contract on 31 July 2026. The awarded maximum value is £1,108,800 including VAT; this is a spending ceiling, not a guaranteed total expenditure. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The underlying framework was used to obtain quotations from its suppliers, following an earlier tender to appoint suppliers able to perform the required disclosure work. The contract is not divided into separately reported lots. The award is active and the procurement status is complete, reflecting the selection of a supplier for the continued case requirement.

This opportunity shows demand from the Serious Fraud Office for specialist legal disclosure and e-discovery support on complex, continuing investigations. Suppliers seeking comparable work would need an established capability in electronic discovery, document review, disclosure management and the handling of evidence for serious fraud cases. They would also need enough operational capacity to continue supporting an active case, work with a public investigative body and deliver services in London. The route to this requirement was a call-off from a framework, so relevant suppliers would need to understand framework-based quotation processes and, for a direct comparison with this procurement, have been appointed to the appropriate framework lot. The selected supplier’s profile indicates that substantial organisational scale was suited to the requirement.
