This procurement falls under the industry category of business services, specifically focusing on law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security, classified under CPV code 79000000. The procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, and the contract was awarded to PINSENT MASONS LLP. The tender process was finalised with the award stage completed on 20th May 2025. The contract period began on 20th May 2025 and concluded on 20th June 2025, with the services to be delivered in the SW1A 2BQ postal code area of London. The value of the contract was £22,000.

This contract presents opportunities for businesses that specialise in legal advisory services, particularly those capable of engaging with youth-focused initiatives. Its focus on business services suggests that both SMEs (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises) and social enterprises may find this type of tender appealing. Organisations with expertise in law and business services can leverage such contracts to establish or enhance their presence within government projects, strengthening their portfolio and expanding their operational reach. Given the call-off nature from a framework agreement, firms experienced in working within structured government procurement frameworks would be well-positioned to compete for similar future opportunities.
