Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham City Council has awarded a contract for "Legal Services supporting Councils Highway Maintenance and Management contract" under the service category "Legal services" (CPV: 79100000). The procurement process, conducted through a limited method due to reasons of extreme urgency, aimed to provide specialist legal advocacy and advice related to unforeseen litigation. This contract, valued at £4,500,000, commenced on 17 July 2024 and will last for up to 24 months, after which the service will be re-procured competitively. The awarded contract covers the UK's West Midlands region.

This tender provides significant opportunities for legal service providers specialising in public infrastructure and litigation, particularly those capable of handling high-stakes and urgent cases. Companies with expertise in Public-Private Partnership (PPP) and Private Finance Initiative (PFI) contracts or those who have experience in judicial review processes would be well-suited to compete for such business opportunities. The scope of this tender also includes subcontracting possibilities, creating growth potential for both primary law firms and niche legal advisors.
