UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process led by Companies House, located in Cardiff, UK, has culminated in the award of the "Independent Adjudicator Contract 5". This procurement, categorised under legal services, involves the delivery of independent adjudicator services to investigate complaints and review appeals related to Companies House's operations. The procurement method used was direct contracting, below the threshold without competition, under the light-touch regime. Key dates include the contract signing on 15th June 2026, with an active contract period starting from 1st September 2026 to 28th February 2027, and possible extensions up to February 2029. The total contract value is £72,000 gross, and the services are classified under CPV code 79100000.

This tender presents growth opportunities primarily for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) possessing expertise in legal services, especially those familiar with adjudication and complaint resolution. The awarded contract, while specific, could set a precedent for future similar opportunities, allowing businesses to establish a foothold in providing regulatory compliance services to central government authorities. Companies with proficiency in handling legal disputes and appeals, and those wishing to engage with government clients, would find such contracts beneficial for expanding their portfolios and reinforcing their capacities in the public sector service offerings.
