Classified under the service category of legal services, this procurement falls within the UKF region. The procurement utilised a limited method, awarding the contract directly through the NEPO Legal Services Framework without prior publication. Initially initiated on 4th June 2025, the contract has moved to the 'Award' stage as of 5th February 2026, with the supplier, Bevan Brittan, actively engaged in delivering these legal services.
