UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Serious Fraud Office (SFO), a central government public authority in the United Kingdom, has completed a procurement process for legal services related to its accommodation project. The process, numbered as OCDS-H6VHTK-06BD4B, involved a direct procurement method, executed below threshold without competition, and resulted in the award to EVERSHEDS SUTHERLAND (INTERNATIONAL) LLP. This procurement, categorized under services within the legal sector, occurred in London, with the formal award dated 25th June 2026. The contract, valued at £94,500 excluding VAT, commenced on 31st March 2026 due to an oversight and has the potential for a six-month renewal for additional work if necessary.

This procurement offers considerable opportunities for large-scale legal firms specializing in public sector services, particularly those with expertise in government accommodation projects. The contract's substantial value and the possibility of contract renewal provide a lucrative prospect for businesses with the capability to deliver services to central government authorities. Companies in the legal industry that can offer comprehensive advice and support to public agencies might find substantial growth opportunities in aligning their services with such government projects. The decision to proceed without competition underscores the importance of establishing strong relationships and previous successful engagements with public entities like the SFO.
