Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust procured legal services for its organisational and operational needs. The requirement is classified as business legal services (CPV 79000000) and falls within the services category. Delivery is associated with Lincoln, England, including the Trust’s procurement location at LN5 7JH. The buyer is the Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, an NHS foundation trust based in Lincoln. The appointed provider is Browne Jacobson LLP, a large law firm. The scope is described as the provision of legal services, indicating a professional advisory and legal support requirement rather than goods, construction or facilities work.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 1 May 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Browne Jacobson LLP on 1 June 2026 for £180,000, with an estimated procurement range of £60,000 to £180,000. The contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2029. There is one recorded award and one supplier. The process was restricted to the framework call-off route rather than an open tender, and the published outcome identifies Browne Jacobson LLP as the active supplier.

This award demonstrates a substantial, multi-year demand for external legal support from an NHS foundation trust. Competitors seeking comparable work would need a broad legal-services capability suited to the needs of a healthcare organisation, together with the capacity to support the buyer throughout a long-running relationship. Access to the relevant framework is important because the requirement was competed through a framework call-off rather than an open procedure. The recorded supplier is a large law firm, so credible competitors are likely to need comparable organisational scale, specialist legal resources and the ability to provide consistent service across the Trust’s requirements. The opportunity was assessed as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.
