Summary of the contracting process

Norwich City Council has completed a procurement process titled "Legal work relating Anglia Square," which falls under the services industry category, specifically legal services. The procurement pertains to legal work involving acquisition and tenancy management for Anglia Square and was conducted through a direct procurement method, below the threshold and without competition. The geographical focus is Norwich, UK with the procurement stages concluding with the contract being signed on 1st November 2024. The awarded contract, valued at £94,037.00 (excluding VAT), is active and is set to end on 18th July 2025.

This procurement process provides significant business growth opportunities for legal firms, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), specialising in services related to property acquisition and tenancy legalities. Browne Jacobson LLP, an SME with regional operations in Birmingham, was awarded the contract, illustrating that firms with expertise in legal service and a robust understanding of property law would provide competitive bids for similar opportunities. The procurement's limited competitive scope suggests that businesses already versed in the requirements of direct awards and local government projects are ideally positioned to benefit from such contracts.
