UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth, conducted by Portsmouth City Council, involves the acquisition of legal advice and support to aid in selecting a new operator for the tower. The procurement falls within the services category, specifically legal services, and has reached the award stage. Notably, the contract was signed with Hogan Lovells International LLP, a large-scale legal firm based in London, on 1st May 2026, with the contract period extending until 31st December 2026. The procurement was completed under a "Below threshold - unknown" method, with no explicit threshold exceeded, and carries a gross value of £35,000.

This tender presents growth opportunities particularly for legal firms proficient in public procurement and management of large-scale properties. As the contract has been awarded to an experienced firm, similar-sized entities with relevant expertise could benefit from similar opportunities in the future, especially those aiming to work with local government authorities like Portsmouth City Council. The scope for providing specialist legal services in public authority projects can indeed be a robust avenue for business expansion within the sub-central government sector.
