## Summary

The procurement process led by the Department for Transport (DfTc) involved the provision of legal advisers for franchise agreements. The tender, classified under business services related to law, marketing, and consulting, had a total value of £950,000. The contract period commenced on 1st August 2020 and concluded on 30th April 2021, with the initial tender period closing on 31st July 2020. This procurement was processed through a direct method as a single tender action, indicating it was below the established threshold for a formal tendering process.

This opportunity can foster significant business growth for legal firms, particularly those specialising in franchise agreements, contract law, and business consulting. Businesses that can showcase expertise in these areas, especially larger firms like Eversheds Sutherland LLP, are positioned advantageously to compete in similar future tenders. Being aligned with public sector standards and capable of navigating regulatory frameworks can also enhance prospects for smaller entities aiming to engage with government contracts.
