Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process is being initiated by NHS Resolution, located in London. The current stage is planning, focusing on securing services under the tender title "Cost Lawyers." The primary industry category is legal services, with the project aimed at managing legal costs related to personal injury and clinical negligence claims. The associated services will ensure that legal costs are reasonable and recoverable by scrutinising bills and handling costs management. This procurement is planned to commence on the 1st of June, 2026, and is set to conclude by the 31st of May, 2030. Interested parties should note the future notice communication date as the 30th of November, 2025.

The tender provides considerable opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in legal services and cost management. Firms with expertise in cost budgeting, negotiation, and advocacy will find this opportunity particularly advantageous. Given the scope of managing complex legal costs, businesses already serving the central government or skilled in public authority contracts can leverage their experience to stand out in the competitive bidding process. This initiative by NHS Resolution represents a valuable entry point for businesses looking to expand within the public sector across the UK.
