Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Procurement & Property Directorate (SPPD) is currently in the planning stage of the procurement process for the Legal Services Framework covering the period 2027-2031. This framework aims to provide legal services to Scottish public sector bodies, with a projected value of £30 million. The planned lots include services such as Debt Recovery, Litigation, and Property-related matters. Suppliers and interested parties need to submit responses to the Request for Information online questionnaire by 29 June 2026, with future communication anticipated around 5 November 2026. The procurement is classified under the legal services category and covers the UKM region.

This procurement process offers robust growth opportunities for businesses within the legal industry, particularly those specialising in public sector legal services. Firms with expertise in contract, commercial, corporate law, and major infrastructure projects may find lucrative opportunities in securing a position within the framework. Engaging in this tender can help businesses expand their reach within the Scottish public sector, enhance their portfolio by associating with government projects, and access a sustainable financial pipeline until 2031. Businesses that can demonstrate innovative solutions, efficiency, and compliance with public sector standards would be well-suited to compete for these opportunities.
