Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, is focused on acquiring legal services under the title "Legal Services for CEFM". The project falls under the industry category of legal advisory and representation services, aimed at providing such services across various regions in the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK. This process has advanced to the award stage, with the contract becoming active on 18 June 2025, and scheduled to last until 17 June 2026. The sole supplier contracted through this procurement is Mills & Reeve, a large-scale firm, under a below-threshold procurement method termed as "unknown".

This tender presents significant opportunities for legal service providers, particularly those adept at handling public sector contracts. While the contract has been awarded to a large supplier, businesses with expertise in legal representation services may find upcoming procurement opportunities in this category beneficial for expanding their reach and client base within the public health sector. Companies that can provide competitive legal advisory services to public authorities, such as NHS Trusts, might find similar future tenders ideal for establishing and growing their operations.
