Summary of the contracting process

The UHI Executive Office based in Inverness has completed a procurement process for legal services under the title "Award of UHI-GOV-36267 Legal Services - Mini Competition." The procurement falls within the services industry category, specifically focusing on legal services, with Thorntons Law LLP from Dundee being awarded the contract. The tender was part of a mini-competition using the PFB1039 AP Legal Services framework, and the initial procurement phase is concluded, having reached the award stage as of 19th May 2025. The contract includes an optional extension of one year and is valued at £394,875. The tender period is set to conclude by 5th December 2029.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses engaged in legal services to collaborate with a significant educational institution, the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI). Although the framework was limited to pre-selected suppliers, similar tenders could be a lucrative avenue for law firms specialising in educational legal support to expand their client base. The use of a framework contract suggests that companies able to join such procurement frameworks could benefit from streamlined opportunities for growth by competing in mini competitions for various projects, minimising the need for lengthy full procurement procedures.
