Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Department for Transport, which has awarded a contract for the "Provision of Legal Advisors for South Western Franchise Change." This contract, classified under legal advisory services (CPV code 79111000), is located in London, United Kingdom. The procurement method used was selective, following a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract value is £23,948, with the contract period starting on 29th August 2018 and concluding on 29th November 2018. The tender period ended on 28th August 2018, marking the completion of this procurement stage.

This tender presents opportunities for legal firms aiming to expand their services within the transport sector, particularly those experienced in franchise-related legal matters. As the awarded contract went to a large firm, Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP, smaller legal service providers with niche expertise in transportation law may find potential avenues for collaboration or innovation to engage in future contracts. Businesses well-suited to compete would ideally have a strong understanding of the regulatory landscape affecting transport franchises and the capacity to deliver tailored legal advice efficiently.
