Summary of the contracting process

Govan Housing Association Limited, located in Glasgow, has announced a procurement for legal services, titled "Govan HA Legal Services 2025", falling under the services category within the legal services industry. The procurement process identified by the CPV code 79100000, focuses on areas such as Employment Law, General Legal, Contractual, and Property Conveyancing. The contract, awarded to TC Young Solicitors, was initiated in an open procedure, covering the UKM82 region. The procurement, which commenced with the tender stage on 30th April 2025 and concluded with the award on 6th August 2025, was conducted employing an open procedure method. The legal services are required to support the association's operations and its subsidiaries, with a key emphasis on governance and financial management. Important dates included the tender period ending on 2nd June 2025 and the award period beginning shortly after on the same day.

This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs specialising in legal services, particularly those with experience in advisory and representation services in Scotland. The contract's focus on a range of domains such as employment law and estate management suggests potential growth for legal firms offering comprehensive service packages. Given that the selection criteria emphasised quality and price, businesses capable of delivering high-quality advisory and documentation services were well-suited to compete. Moreover, the opportunity to subcontract parts of the work related to specialist employment law creates space for niche providers to engage in collaborative work with the awarded supplier, TC Young Solicitors, thereby fostering broader business growth and development within the legal services industry.
