Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Commercial Service is overseeing the procurement process titled "Provision of Pensions Legal Support," which falls under the "Legal advisory and information services" industry category (CPV 79140000). The procurement employs a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement. Covering regions such as North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, and many others across the UK, the contract is valued at £600,000 and began on 15 July 2024. It will run until 14 July 2026, with the award being activated on 12 July 2024.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for large legal firms with expertise in pensions and public sector transitions. The lengthy, 24-month transition period provides stable, high-value work for the winning bidder, in this instance, DLA PIPER UK LLP. Firms that can demonstrate robust experience in handling complex legal transitions for sizeable public sector projects will find this tender aligned with their capabilities. Smaller firms and VCSEs may find this tender less suitable given the scale and specialised nature of the work required, as indicated in the suitability requirements.
