## Summary

The Ministry of Defence procured legal support services. The requirement is identified as legal services, but the available scope description only refers to transparency documentation for this procurement, so the specific legal work to be delivered cannot be characterised further. The buyer is based at Kentigern House in Glasgow. Delivery addresses include Glasgow, the United Kingdom and a range of international locations, including Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The requirement is for services rather than goods or works.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Burges Salmon LLP. The award date was 30 July 2026. The contract value is £620,000, with a contract period running from 14 August 2026 to 14 August 2029. The Ministry of Defence used a selective procedure to place a call-off from a framework agreement. The competition closed on 17 July 2026. The procurement is recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published procurement information does not set out an evaluation basis, eligibility conditions or a division into lots.

This award shows demand from the Ministry of Defence for legal support through a framework call-off, with delivery potentially spanning domestic and international locations. Burges Salmon LLP, a large law firm, was selected. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to demonstrate the capacity to provide legal services at an organisation-wide scale and to support work across the relevant geographical reach. Experience advising public-sector clients and operating within framework call-off arrangements would be commercially relevant. The description identifies transparency documentation, but does not establish a more specific legal specialism or technical requirement, so competitors should focus on evidence of delivering comparable legal support rather than assuming a particular practice area.
