Summary of the contracting process

The National Lottery Community Fund has completed the awarding of a contract titled "Procurement Act Review," classified under Legal advisory services (CPV code: 79111000). The procurement involved directly awarding the contract to Burges Salmon LLP, a large-scale supplier. The geographical scope covers the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. The contract, valued at £23,750, commences on 16th October 2024 and concludes on 28th February 2025. The procurement method was direct, bypassing the competitive tendering stage, with the award published on 4th June 2025.

This tender offers an opportunity for growth particularly for legal advisory firms, with emphasis on services involving legislative reviews and template evaluations. While Burges Salmon LLP was awarded the contract, small and medium-sized enterprises would have benefited due to the suitability clauses in place. This highlights potential openings for SMEs to align with public sector requirements in similar domains, leveraging streamlined processes for direct awards. Businesses operating within the UK and internationally could enhance their credentials by engaging in similar procurement classifications under legal and compliance sectors.
