Summary of the contracting process

Karbon Homes, based in Newcastle upon Tyne, has issued a tender for establishing a Legal Services Framework, aiming to support various legal requirements across several contracting authorities, including Gentoo Group Limited. This process falls under the services category, specifically legal services, using an open procurement method. Key locations for the delivery of these services include regions across the UK. The procurement process is currently at the tender stage, following an initial planning phase that included market engagement. Key deadlines include the end of the enquiry period on 20th May 2026 and the tender submission deadline on 1st June 2026, with the award expected by 13th July 2026.

This framework represents a substantial opportunity for legal service providers, particularly those capable of offering comprehensive services across multiple areas such as property, construction, and corporate law. SMEs are encouraged to participate, as the framework is designed to be inclusive with high-quality standards and competitive pricing as the award criteria. The successful inclusion in this framework can offer significant growth potential and networking opportunities with various public and private housing organisations, fostering long-term business relationships and expanding market presence. The structure allows for both standard framework agreements and options to reopen competition, providing flexibility for suppliers to engage effectively.
