Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the contract titled "Legal Services - Scotland" was managed by the Mining Remediation Authority based in Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom. The contract, focused on legal services with emphasis on Scots Law, was awarded on 27th March 2026, marking the completion of the award stage. This contract was procured via a direct award method under the CCS Framework RM6240, without prior publication of a call for competition, as it falls outside the scope of the directive threshold. Legal services are required across various UK regions, including the UKM, UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK, with the awarded contract valued at £107,000. The procurement category falls within the services industry, specifically classified under CPV code 79100000.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for business growth within the legal services sector, particularly for large firms capable of providing full-service public sector legal advice and litigation support. Businesses with expertise in Scots Law and public sector legal frameworks would be well-equipped to fulfil these contractual requirements. The procurement method, being limited and based on direct award, suggests potential opportunities for firms already familiar with public sector frameworks, who can quickly adapt and deliver targeted legal solutions across extensive geographical regions. Anderson Strathern LLP has been designated as the supplier, indicating the potential for similar firms to seek competitive positioning in future related procurements.
