The contract aims to provide external legal support for the Responsible Actors Scheme (RAS) and the linked Developer Remediation Contract (DRC). The procurement process reached the award stage, with the award date being 16th July 2024. The contract period extends from 6th June 2023 to 1st October 2024. The total contract value is £2,200,000, and the services are required across regions including the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and globally.

Companies like Slaughter & May, which has been awarded the contract, are well-suited due to their scale and expertise in managing extensive legal frameworks and international regulations. The considerable contract value and the broad geographic scope underscore the potential benefits to businesses that can effectively meet these requirements.
