Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process conducted by NCC OPERATIONS LIMITED for "Legal Support Services" falls under the industry category of legal services. Located in the UK, NCC Operations Ltd operates from the National Composite Centre in Bristol. The procurement, which underwent a direct award process via the Government Commercial Agency's RM6240 Public Sector Legal Services Framework Agreement, is in the award and contract stage as of July 2026. Although the procurement status is marked as complete, the direct award was made to BURGES SALMON LLP with a contract signed on 20th October 2025, valued at £75,000.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in the legal services sector, particularly those that can capitalise on direct award procedures through framework agreements. Large legal firms or those skilled in navigating UK procurement frameworks would find themselves well-positioned to compete. With the option to extend both the time and value of the contract by up to 50%, successful suppliers like BURGES SALMON LLP could leverage this for business growth. The tender method, which bypassed a prior call for competition, further highlights the need for potential applicants to explore government framework agreements actively.
