UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Natural Resources Wales (NRW) has entered the award stage of its procurement process for the Parliamentary Legal Service Framework (2025-2029). This open procedure sought to provide legal advice across several key areas, including Works and Projects, Fisheries, and Marine Licensing, to name a few. Located in Cardiff, the procurement framework has been completed with contracts resulting in a total gross amount of GBP 1,560,000. The framework has been awarded without reopening competition and consists of ranked suppliers. The central government authority operates under Welsh devolved regulations and utilises a framework agreement, commencing on 12 October 2025 and set to conclude by 11 October 2029.

The Parliamentary Legal Service Framework offers significant opportunities for professional legal service providers, particularly those with expertise in areas such as nature conservation and flood defence. Given the scale and breadth of service requirements, it is especially suitable for SMEs and firms adept at handling complex legal scenarios related to devolution and Brexit impacts. Businesses with strong capabilities in providing comprehensive legal support across multiple sectors can find potential growth and establishment within the public procurement landscape through such frameworks. Existing relationships with public authorities or central government can bolster a competitive edge for firms vying for this and similar contracts.
