Summary of the contracting process

Westminster City Council, acting on behalf of the London Boroughs' Legal Alliance (LBLA), has completed the extension of the Legal Services framework under the title "LBLA Solicitors (Legal Services) Framework Extension". The procurement pertains to legal services, identified with the CPV code 79100000, and is categorised as a services procurement. Conducted via an open procedure, this tender was part of the efforts to extend the existing framework by six months. Officially signed on 7th July 2025, the contract is valued at £5,000,000. This extension is part of a completed procurement stage, originally initiated on 22nd September 2025, covering legal service requirements across the UK.

The extension of this framework presents significant business opportunities for large-scale legal firms ready to provide comprehensive legal services for public sector entities, such as regional or local authorities. This framework is well-suited to law firms that are established and can meet the technical and price quality criteria set by the council. With the involvement of notable firms like Anthony Collins Solicitors LLP and Ashfords LLP, and a procurement scope covering regeneration and a full range of legal services, this framework supports robust growth opportunities for participating suppliers, especially those capable of serving a large group of authorities within the UK.
