OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority is seeking to establish a Provision of Legal Services Framework, focusing on public order and safety. This procurement falls under the services category and will be conducted using an open procedure. The main procurement stage is at the 'award' phase, with key dates including the contract signing on 10th April 2024. Relevant industry codes include CPV 79100000, covering various legal services. The procurement is conducted across multiple lots, each with specific legal service focus areas such as employment law, general litigation, complaints and conduct advice, inquiries and reviews, procurement advice, and conveyancing advice. The framework agreement covers the UKM region, encompassing Glasgow, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, and Dundee.

This framework presents substantial opportunities for growth, primarily targeting large legal services firms with the capacity to deliver specialised legal support across different areas of law. Successful suppliers such as Clyde & Co, Ledingham Chalmers LLP, and Harper Macleod LLP have been awarded contracts within this framework, demonstrating the competitive landscape for established legal entities. Businesses specialised in employment law, litigation, or conveyancing can find significant opportunities to expand their operations while contributing to public order and safety. The open procedure ensures a transparent and competitive process, fostering fair competition and providing diverse opportunities for qualified legal service providers.
