Summary of the contracting process

The Mining Remediation Authority, a public law body located in Nottinghamshire, has concluded the procurement process for the provision of legal services across Great Britain, primarily focusing on public order and safety. This tender was part of the CCS framework's Legal Panel for Government under RM6360, Lot 1, Core Legal Services. The procurement was conducted using a limited method without prior publication for competition, falling outside the directive's scope. The award, active since 29 March 2026, was given to DLA Piper UK LLP, a large legal entity based in London. Although the initial lot aiming to provide legal support in legislative matters was cancelled, the contract remains valued at £709,000, encompassing various regions throughout the UK.

This tender presents substantial business expansion possibilities for firms specialising in legal services, particularly those experienced in government-related legislative advisory work and property transactions concerning mining remediation. Opportunities lie in offering expert legal guidance and representation concerning statutory compliance and environmental initiatives such as minewater treatment schemes. While the awarded contract has completed its cycle, similar opportunities under such frameworks could benefit established legal firms adept in public sector collaborations. Businesses with expertise in these niche areas are well-placed to pursue future contracts with government bodies like the Mining Remediation Authority.
