Summary of the contracting process

The Post Office Limited has recently completed a procurement process for Legal Services, classified under the CPV code 79100000. This process was specifically aimed at obtaining legal support services. The procurement, which followed the single tender action method due to it being below the threshold, concluded its tender period on 1st August 2024, with the contract running from 19th August 2024 until 17th February 2025. The total contract value is £177,050, and the services will be delivered across the United Kingdom.

This tender creates substantial opportunities for businesses in the legal sector, particularly those offering specialised legal support. While the awarded contract went to PINSENT MASONS LLP, the procurement's nature indicates that large-scale legal firms with substantial resources are well-suited for such opportunities, especially those capable of meeting the specific legal support needs of sizeable organisations like the Post Office Limited. Engaging in such contracts can significantly boost business visibility and credibility within the legal industry.
