UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured practice certificates for solicitors in its Legal Service. The requirement is a service relating to solicitors’ professional practice, supplied by the Solicitors Regulation Authority Limited. Delivery is recorded as being in the United Kingdom, with no more specific delivery place identified in the procurement details.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly to the Solicitors Regulation Authority Limited, without competition, under a below-threshold procedure. The contract was signed on 26 October 2026, the award date, and runs from 26 October 2026 to 27 October 2028. Its stated gross value is £56,000. The procurement was arranged as a single lot. The award record identifies services but gives no separate evaluation criteria; the route was a direct award without competition.

For suppliers tracking this buyer’s recurring requirements, this award shows demand for practice certificates for solicitors in Leicestershire County Council’s Legal Service, met by the Solicitors Regulation Authority Limited through a direct, below-threshold route. A credible competitor when this specific requirement next comes to market would need to provide the certificates and demonstrate the regulatory standing and operational ability to serve solicitors’ practice needs. The awarded provider’s position as the Solicitors Regulation Authority indicates the importance of direct expertise in solicitor regulation. The requirement is focused on certificates rather than a broader legal-services commission, so suppliers whose work is limited to unrelated legal advice would be less closely matched.
