Summary of the contracting process

The Construction Industry Training Board, a regional authority in the education sector, facilitated the procurement process for "Legal Services" under the industry category of legal services (CPV: 79100000). Located in Peterborough, UKH11 region, this process has reached the award stage with the status marked as complete. The contract award date was 24th June 2026, with a significant contract value of £500,000 awarded to Addleshaw Goddard LLP. The procurement method utilized was a limited procedure, specifically an award without prior publication of a call for competition, justified by a framework agreement with CCS/GCA, RM6240 - Public Sector Legal Services. The opportunity was intended for services procurement and involved only one bid submission, which was electronic, and did not include bids from SMEs or international businesses.

This tender process presents growth opportunities mainly for large legal service firms capable of engaging in framework agreements without prior competition calls. Such businesses can leverage these streamlined procurement methods to secure high-value contracts with public sector organisations like the Construction Industry Training Board. Given the legal services nature of the tender, companies with expertise and resources in providing comprehensive legal consultation and services can find potential to establish a significant footprint in regional public sector markets.
