Summary of the contracting process

The Department for International Trade has awarded a contract for legal advice related to an existing UKEF-supported Murabaha facility to Clifford Chance. The contract is valued at £100,000 and has a contract period from 20th October 2022 to 31st December 2022. The procurement method used was a direct single tender action below the threshold, and the tender period ended on 19th October 2022.

This tender for legal services presents an opportunity for law firms or legal consultancy businesses looking to provide expertise in this area. Being a direct procurement method, the process was limited to a single tender action, making it suitable for businesses with niche expertise or established relationships with the buying organisation, the Department for International Trade. The contract duration allows for short-term engagements, and the nature of the service offers scope for legal firms to showcase their proficiency in providing advice on complex financial structures like Murabaha agreements.
