Summary of the contracting process

The University of Glasgow has completed the procurement process for the PURCH2600 Framework Agreement aimed at provisioning legal services. The contract, now awarded, pertains to the legal services category under CPV code 79100000, and involves several specialised lots, including "One Stop Shop," "Construction and Property," "Employment Law, Pensions and Immigration," and "Governance and Dispute Resolution." The procurement method employed was selective, utilising a competitive procedure with negotiation, situated within the Glasgow region (UKM82). The contracts were signed on the 19th of November, 2025, following the award process, which was active as of the 21st of November, 2025. Brodies LLP and CMS Cameron McKenna Nabarro Olswang LLP are among the key suppliers engaged in this agreement.

This legal services framework presents growth opportunities for well-established law firms specialising in diverse legal fields, such as corporate law, construction, employment, governance, and dispute resolution. Businesses demonstrating strengths in technical quality and competitive pricing are well-suited to compete, particularly those capable of aligning with the University of Glasgow’s commitment to integrity and community benefits. Large firms with significant turnover and robust insurance coverages stand to benefit substantively from participation in this framework, which also supports community initiatives, including living wages and apprenticeships. The procurement structure enhances opportunities through a transparent and fair competitive process, creating a fertile ground for expanding business through public sector collaboration.
