Summary of the contracting process

Beyond Housing Limited, a public law body focused on housing and community amenities, has recently concluded a procurement process for legal services under Lot 2 of the CHIC PCR15 Framework. This framework allows the organisation to procure disrepair claim legal services, mainly demand-driven, for its property stock located primarily in the North East and Yorkshire. The procurement followed an award procedure without a prior call for competition, under a limited procurement method, with Ward Hadaway contracted as the supplier. The award was activated in March 2026, following the signing of the Letter of Engagement on 10th March 2026.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in legal services, particularly those experienced in handling disrepair claims. Given its focus on ongoing service provision within a framework, businesses that can offer legal insurance and all-risk insurance services may find significant growth potential. While the specifics regarding the volume or value of the works are currently estimated, this framework enables further awards, allowing businesses to enhance their footprint in the public sector. Large-scale firms like Ward Hadaway, with expertise in legal services and situated in Newcastle upon Tyne, would be well-suited contenders in similar procurements.
