Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Restorative Justice Programme" was executed by Post Office Limited, a public undertaking based in London, United Kingdom. Focused on the legal services industry, this process involved securing legal support for the programme. The procurement, completed in October 2025, utilised a direct procurement method below the threshold, meaning it was conducted without competition. The contract was awarded to NEIL HUDGELL LIMITED T/A HUDGELL SOLICITORS on 17th October 2025. The agreement encompasses legal advisory and representation services throughout the UK, with a contract duration extending until 31st March 2026.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in providing legal advisory and representation services.
