Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Export Finance procured legal advisory services under its ECA Call-Off 002 requirement. The work supports the organisation’s export finance activities and is delivered in the United Kingdom. It is a services contract, classified under CPV 79111000 for legal advisory services. The requirement was arranged as a call-off from an existing framework agreement rather than as a standalone purchase. The named buyer is UK Export Finance, a UK government organisation based in London. The selected provider is Norton Rose Fulbright LLP, an established large legal services firm. The opportunity is therefore relevant to law firms with the capability to provide advisory support to a public-sector export finance body across the UK.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. UK Export Finance used a selective procedure to call off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 15 July 2026 at 23:59. Norton Rose Fulbright LLP received the award on 23 July 2026 for GBP 428,000. The contract runs from 23 July 2026 to 23 July 2028. The award covers the full legal advisory services requirement and was made to a single supplier. The published procurement information identifies the requirement as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The process therefore demonstrates a framework-based route for appointing a specialist legal services provider.

This award is commercially relevant to large legal practices able to support UK Export Finance with ongoing legal advice. The buyer used a selective framework call-off, so future credibility will depend on being positioned on the relevant framework or partnering with a framework-appointed firm. A competing supplier would need sufficient organisational scale, legal advisory capacity and experience of handling the needs of a government export finance organisation. The requirement’s classification points to specialist legal advice rather than general administrative or transactional support. Firms considering similar work should be able to demonstrate dependable delivery across the United Kingdom, appropriate public-sector governance, and the capacity to sustain an advisory relationship over a multi-year period.
