Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process involves the Department for Transport (DfT), seeking to extend the contract for legal advisory services with Slaughter and May LLP. This contract, titled "P4103067 Legal Advisers to the International Rail Team (Extension)," falls under the legal services category and has a total contract value of £3 million. The contract period runs from 15th June 2022 to 14th June 2023, following a selective procurement method initiated by the DfT. The award for this extension was published on 2nd March 2022, with a tender period that closed on 14th June 2022, located in London, England.

This tender presents significant opportunities for legal firms specialising in transportation and rail industries, especially those with expertise in governmental contracts. As the procurement is designed for a variation extension rather than a completely new tender, firms with a proven track record in providing legal services to public sector bodies will be well-positioned to compete. This could open avenues for larger law firms looking to maintain or expand their partnerships within the public sector, especially in the context of ongoing projects and legal needs within the infrastructure landscape.
