The process, which has now reached the Award stage, is classified under the industry category "Legal advisory and information services" and covers locations within the United Kingdom, particularly Newcastle upon Tyne (postcode NE15 8NY). The contract runs from 1st September 2024 to 30th September 2027, including an initial term of 7 months and a potential extension of 30 months.

This tender presents significant opportunities for legal firms specializing in employment, commercial, and property law. The extended contract ensures long-term engagement potential, offering stability and recurrent business for capable legal service providers.
