OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government is currently in the planning stage for a new "Legal Services Framework" covering the period from 2027 to 2031. This procurement process, with an estimated value of £30,000,000, involves the provision of legal services to organisations within the Scottish public sector. The procurement falls under the services category and encompasses various legal service lots such as debt recovery, litigation, and contract law, among others. The future notice date is scheduled for 5th November 2026. Interested parties can provide input through an online questionnaire, open until 29th June 2026, to help shape the procurement strategy. This initiative is part of the Scottish Procurement & Property Directorate's efforts to involve stakeholders in the development of non-competitive contractual arrangements.

This planning phase presents an opportunity for businesses operating within legal services, particularly those with expertise in public sector contracts, to influence and potentially participate in the upcoming framework agreements. The diverse range of service lots offers specialized law firms the chance to cater to different legal needs, from litigation and reparation to property matters and commercial projects. Businesses with a strong track record in these areas and experience in navigating large framework agreements will be particularly well-suited to compete in this procurement process, positioning themselves for growth in collaboration with the Scottish Government.
