Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government has completed the procurement process for a framework contract titled "Law Accountancy Services Framework," which falls under the accounting services industry category. This procurement, conducted via an open procedure, was managed by the Scottish Government, located at 5 Atlantic Quay, Glasgow, UK. The contract, valued at £300,000, was awarded to Keith Mitchell Law Accountants and covers services needed primarily by the Scottish Government Legal Directorate and may extend to the Office of The Advocate General. The contract is set to run from 1 October 2025 to 30 September 2028, with an option to extend until 30 September 2029. The procurement process progressed through distinct stages, from planning and tendering to the award stage, which was completed on 1 October 2025.

This framework presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in law accountancy services, particularly those capable of providing quality service delivery, quality assurance, and risk management. SMEs and companies experienced in managing accounts related to judicial expenses and litigation support services stand to benefit greatly from this tender.
