Summary of the contracting process

Capital City College Group in London has completed the procurement process for the provision of legal services, with a focus on employment tribunal services, under the title "Provision of Legal Services to Capital City College." This process, managed through an open procedure compliant with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, aimed to formalise a cost-efficient and performance-enhancing agreement for professional legal services essential to the further education sector. The contract, valued at £1,800,000, was awarded to Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP on 9th April 2025 and is set to commence on 10th March 2025, lasting until 31st March 2027 with potential extensions up to 2031.

Businesses operating in the legal services sector, particularly those with niche expertise in employment tribunal services, stand to benefit from such contracts due to the scale and operational duration flexibility. The selective criteria required registration with the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), thus ensuring high standards and professionalism. SMEs, especially those aiming to establish long-term value-added relationships and innovate within the public legal services domain, would find ample growth opportunities through procurement engagements like this, which promise both financial steadiness and an impactful market presence.
