Summary of the contracting process

The Pension Protection Fund (PPF) is currently in the award stage of the "PPF Legal Panel" procurement process, aiming to engage firms for legal advisory services under the classification of CPV code 79111000. This procurement covers the UK and consists of two lots: "PPF Legal Services" and "Assessment Period Tasks". The open tender employs an open procedure, and key dates include the tender being signed on 1 February 2022, with a total estimated value of £13 million and a delivery contract period of 1440 days. Currently, six firms are appointed for Lot 1, while three firms from Lot 1 will provide services for Lot 2.

Companies interested in competing should consider their capabilities in delivering comprehensive legal services directly related to the needs of the PPF and should be prepared to meet the qualifications and experience criteria specified in the tender documents. This procurement presents a significant opportunity for firms to expand their clientele and enhance their service offerings within the public sector.
