Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "WP&FM 24 - External Legal Advice CCS RM3786 call off" is being conducted by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, focusing on the legal advisory services industry within the UK. This contract, valued at £170,000, falls under the 'services' category. The procurement method is classified as a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, indicating a direct award from the CCS RM3786 framework. Although the process has reached the award stage, it previously included a tender phase with significant legal support requirements throughout the procurement process, which are now actively being fulfilled by Burges Salmon LLP.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for law firms and businesses specialising in legal consultancy, particularly those experienced in public sector contracts and procurement processes. Companies that provide legal advice on workplace management contracts and have expertise in areas such as TUPE (Transfer of Undertakings Protection of Employment) would be particularly well-suited to engage with future projects in this domain. As Defra's facilities management contracts conclude in 2024, there could be further opportunities for businesses to become involved in similar legal advisory services in the re-procurement of these essential services.
