## Summary

The Department for Transport is procuring legal services through a partnership arrangement. The requirement is described only at this broad level, without identifying particular legal disciplines or deliverables. The work is for the Department, based at Great Minster House in London, and the stated delivery coverage spans the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is a legal-services requirement (CPV 79100000), rather than a purchase of goods or construction works.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Browne Jacobson LLP. The award date was 22 October 2026 and the awarded value is £1.2 million. The contract period runs from 3 October 2026 to 2 October 2029. The process was a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The original tender deadline was 31 July 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. No lots, eligibility requirements or evaluation criteria are recorded in the available process information, so the stated basis for the selection cannot be described beyond the framework call-off route.

The award provides a concrete indication that the Department for Transport uses a framework call-off to secure legal services through a partnership arrangement, with work potentially spanning the UK and a wide range of international jurisdictions. Browne Jacobson LLP, a large law firm, was selected for the requirement. A firm seeking to compete when this requirement returns would need to demonstrate the capacity to provide legal support at partnership scale and manage matters across the stated geographic footprint. Experience serving a central government department and working effectively through framework call-off arrangements would be relevant to establishing credibility for this buyer’s requirement. The procurement information does not identify specific legal specialisms, accreditations, staffing thresholds or technical criteria, so it does not establish a more particular capability profile.
