Summary of the contracting process

The tender process undertaken by UK Export Finance focused on procuring legal services under the title "Legal support for the amendment and restatement of the GEF/EWCS/BSS Master Guarantee Agreements". This was a call-off from the CCS Framework RM6360 - Lot 3. The procurement, valued at £120,000, was conducted using a selective method and has now reached the award stage, with Hogan Lovell LLP named as the successful supplier. Key dates to note include the tender period ending on 24 November 2025 and the active contract period beginning on 1 January 2026, running through to 31 December 2026. The services will be delivered in London, England, within the CPV category "Legal services" (code 79100000).

This tender presents an attractive opportunity for large legal firms, especially those with a focus on governmental and financial sectors, to collaborate with a prestigious public sector buyer like UK Export Finance. Although the tender has already been awarded, similar opportunities may arise, offering business growth potential due to the strategic nature of the services required and the significant contract value. Future opportunities would be particularly suited to large-scale legal service providers with the capability to handle complex financial legal advisory projects, thus fostering expansion in this specialised sector. Additionally, while this particular contract was awarded to a large firm, smaller enterprises could benefit from observing and participating in similar framework agreements to enhance their prospects of securing future contracts.
