The lead buying organisation, Historic England, located in Swindon, Wiltshire, facilitated this process which falls under the industry category of Legal advisory and information services (CPV: 79140000). The procurement method selected was a competitive dialogue, targeting qualified legal firms to support a seamless service delivery over a four-year term starting 1st November 2025 and ending 30th September 2029. Notable suppliers awarded include Bevan Brittan LLP, Trowers & Hamlins LLP, and Womble Bond Dickinson (UK) LLP. The award stage was completed on 21st October 2025.
