UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Waltham Forest, through the London Boroughs’ Legal Alliance, procured a full range of outsourced legal services under Lot 2 of its legal services framework. The requirement is for legal advisers to support enhanced service delivery, value for money and efficient management of matters handled by external solicitors. The service category is legal services (CPV 79100000). Delivery covers the United Kingdom, with the contracting authority based in London. This is a public-sector legal services opportunity suited to firms able to advise on a broad range of legal matters for a local authority and to manage outsourced work as part of a framework arrangement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective procedure as a below-threshold award under a framework, without a competitive process for this call-off. TLT LLP was appointed for Lot 2. The award was made on 22 September 2026 and the contract was signed the same day. The contract runs from 23 September 2026 to 7 January 2030. Its value is £130,000 excluding VAT and £156,000 including VAT. The contract is active. The award relates to the full range of legal services required under the London Boroughs’ Legal Alliance framework, with one supplier recorded for this lot.

This award shows that Waltham Forest is using an established legal services framework to outsource a broad range of local-authority legal work. A credible competitor for comparable public-sector requirements would need a wide legal services capability rather than a narrowly focused specialism, together with the capacity to manage varied instructions and deliver consistently for a council environment. Evidence of efficient matter management, dependable service delivery and value for money would be commercially relevant. Firms should also be able to operate within framework-based purchasing arrangements and support a public authority’s need for coordinated external legal advice across different types of matters. The selected supplier is a large legal practice, indicating a requirement that can suit organisations with substantial breadth and delivery capacity.
