Summary of the contracting process

National Grid UK Limited has awarded a contract for a comprehensive legal services framework, with a value of £250,000,000 GBP. The procurement process was selective, following a competitive procedure with negotiation above the threshold. The contract covers multiple lots including UK General Advisory, Global Advisory, UK Corporate, Global Corporate, UK Planning DCO, Infrastructure, and Regulatory Services within the legal services industry category. The contract period runs from 1 February 2025 to 31 January 2029. Key dates include the initial tender end date of 28 June 2024 and the award notice published on 7 March 2025. The legal suppliers involved are spread across various UK locations such as London, Bristol, and Manchester.

This tender provides a substantial opportunity for legal firms specialising in diverse advisory and corporate services to collaborate and service a significant client like National Grid UK Limited. While the framework panel includes primarily large-scale firms such as Addleshaw Goddard LLP, Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner, and DLA Piper UK LLP, there is room for specialised legal services supporting infrastructure and regulatory needs, potentially benefiting firms that can offer international advisory capabilities as well. Businesses suited for this contract include powerful and established legal entities with the capability to manage expansive and multi-jurisdictional legal needs, contributing to business growth through high-profile engagements and alignment with renowned organisations.
