The Post Office has contracted a call-off agreement for legal services from the CCS Legal Service Panel, with a focus on supporting the organisation’s legal team for remediation work. The procurement process falls under the "services" category with the CPV classification code "79100000" for legal services and is located in London, United Kingdom. In this completed tender, the awarded contract was active from 28 January 2025 to 27 January 2027, with a total value of £18,000,000. This selective procurement method was facilitated through a framework agreement, and the award was last updated on 25 June 2025.

This tender award provides significant opportunities for large-scale legal service providers with experience in managing complex contracts under framework agreements. The secured contract with Pinsent Mason, a large legal firm, showcases the potential for similar-sized entities to engage with the Post Office on substantial legal projects. While small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find this tender challenging due to its scale and scope, the focus on remediation work could interest businesses with specific expertise in this niche area.
