Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process, initiated by UK Export Finance, concerns the provision of legal advisory services titled "Legal Support for using GEF/EWCS/BSS for non typical structures." Classified under the CPV code 79111000, this contract falls within the services category. The procurement method was a selective call-off from a framework agreement. With the tender period ending on 28th February 2025, the contract period spans from 1st March 2025 to 31st December 2025. The contract has been awarded to Hogan Lovells LLP at a value of £100,000. The buying organisation is based at 1 Horse Guards Road, London, SW1A 2HQ, England, and operates under the legal name of UK EXPORT FINANCE.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for legal advisory firms, particularly those experienced in complex financial structures and export finance. While the awarded contract has been secured by Hogan Lovells LLP, future similar tenders could benefit small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and organisations within the voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) sector, which are suitable to participate in this selective procurement method. Engaging in such contracts can facilitate substantial business growth through exposure to high-profile clients and the possibility of securing recurring or similar future contracts with UK Export Finance and other governmental agencies.
