UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Export Finance procured legal advisory services through a GALP call-off contract. The requirement covers legal advice for the public authority’s work, with delivery across the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is UK Export Finance, a central government public authority based in London. The service falls within the legal services category, specifically legal advisory services (CPV 79111000). The procurement was organised as one completed lot. The appointed supplier is Norton Rose Fulbright LLP, a large law firm based in London. The arrangement is a call-off from an existing framework, so the requirement is suited to firms able to provide specialist legal advice within the framework’s scope and operating arrangements.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. UK Export Finance used a selective procedure to award a non-competitive call-off under a framework. Norton Rose Fulbright LLP was awarded the single lot on 30 June 2026. The award value is £200,000 excluding VAT, or £240,000 including VAT. The contract was signed on 5 July 2026 and runs from 5 July 2026 to 4 July 2027. It may be renewed for one month, or multiples of one month, up to a maximum end date of 4 January 2028. The award record gives a service delivery period from 12 August 2026 to 4 July 2027, with the same maximum extent date. The contract is active.

This award indicates demand from UK Export Finance for substantial, specialist legal advisory support delivered through a government framework. Firms seeking comparable work would need to be capable of operating within the relevant framework and its call-off arrangements, rather than relying on an open competition for each requirement. Norton Rose Fulbright’s appointment shows that a large commercial law firm with the resources to support a central government client was considered suitable. Credible future competitors should therefore be able to demonstrate relevant legal expertise, a team with sufficient capacity for ongoing advisory work, and experience of delivering high-value services to public sector or similarly regulated clients. Familiarity with government contracting, framework procedures and formal call-off requirements would also be important.
