Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process in question involves Scottish Enterprise along with Highlands & Islands Enterprise and South of Scotland Enterprise Agency appointing up to four suppliers to a Legal Services framework agreement. This contract falls under the industry category of legal services (CPV 79100000) and is located in the UKM region. The framework is anticipated to commence in December 2024 and run for four years, with an award notice published on 6th February 2025. The procurement method used was an open procedure, and it has successfully moved to the award stage with suppliers such as Burness Paull LLP, Addleshaw Goddard LLP, Brodies LLP, and CMS Cameron McKenna Nabarro Olswang LLP being appointed.

This tender represents a valuable business growth opportunity, particularly for large law firms with extensive experience in a broad range of legal services including commercial property, contracts, construction, and regulatory compliance, among others. The framework's emphasis on climate change considerations also indicates potential for firms specialising in environmental law. Selected businesses will benefit from long-term and high-value engagements, enhancing their portfolios and extending their influence in both domestic and international markets, especially those firms equipped to handle newly emerging legal domains such as artificial intelligence law.
