Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is establishing a Legal Services Framework aimed at providing legal services across two main categories: Public Sector Law and Corporate & Commercial Legal Services. The procurement is within the services industry category and covers the entirety of the UK. This framework agreement will run for four years starting from January 2025. The procurement stage is currently active, with submissions closing on 3rd September 2024. The total estimated value for the services sought is £20,000,000. The procurement method employed is a selective, restricted procedure, ensuring that only qualified bidders are considered.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in legal services, particularly those with expertise in diverse sectors such as corporate governance, dispute resolution, and financial regulations. With the framework encompassing high-value contracts, firms that can provide high-quality legal support and exceptional value for money will find this an attractive opportunity. Large legal firms with a strong presence in the UK market, as well as smaller specialist firms, are well-suited to compete, particularly if they possess experience in public sector law and corporate commercial legal services. By being awarded a contract within this framework, businesses can significantly enhance their growth and market presence.
