The contracting authority is located at 102 Blackstock Road, London, N4 2DR. This process falls under the legal services industry category, identified by CPV code "79100000". The procurement method utilised was direct, specifically a single tender action below the threshold, with the procurement stage being the award phase.

This procurement presents potential business growth opportunities for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSE).

Businesses looking to expand their services into the public sector or aiming to strengthen their portfolio in the legal advisory domain may find participating in similar tenders advantageous. With the procurement method being a direct, single tender action, smaller businesses have a clearer pathway to securing such contracts without the extensive competition usually associated with larger public tenders.
