UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Curo Group (Albion) Ltd procured legal advisory services for work on a partnership, including reviewing loan covenant consents and preparing loan documentation. The requirement covers specialist legal advice supporting the partnership and its associated financing arrangements. The buying organisation is Curo Group (Albion) Ltd, based in Bath. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. This is a services opportunity for law firms or legal practices with relevant corporate, commercial and finance capability. The work is focused rather than a broad legal-services requirement: suppliers would need to understand partnership matters, lender consent requirements and the preparation of loan documents. The requirement was organised as a single package of work.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Curo Group (Albion) Ltd used a direct procedure below the applicable threshold and without competition. Bevan Brittan LLP was selected as the supplier. The award is active and the contract was signed on 12 August 2026. The contract runs from 12 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its gross value is £51,150. The contract is below threshold. The award covers the single package of legal advice relating to the partnership and loan documentation. The published outcome identifies legal advisory services as the category of work. The arrangement therefore shows a completed, direct appointment rather than a competitive tender with scored bids or multiple awarded suppliers.

For a law firm assessing future work from Curo, this award demonstrates demand for targeted partnership and finance advice rather than routine general legal services. A credible competitor would need solicitors experienced in advising on partnerships, reviewing loan covenant consents and drafting or checking loan documentation. Relevant capability should include coordinating the legal, commercial and financing aspects of a partnership transaction, understanding lender requirements and producing documents suitable for execution. The selected supplier is a large legal practice, indicating that comparable firms with sufficient specialist depth, professional capacity and transaction-management resource would be well placed to compete if this requirement returns. The opportunity is most relevant to established commercial, banking and finance teams able to support a public-sector housing group.
