## Summary

The procurement process managed by the United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust involved a tender for "Legal Services" under the category of business services, which includes law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security. Located in Lincoln, England, this process used a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement, demonstrating specificity in supplier selection. The tender, which was valued at £900,000, reached the award stage on 1st June 2026 and spanned a contract period from 1st June 2026 to 30th May 2029. It sought legal services as required, underlining a substantial business commitment for the defined duration. The award recipient was Browne Jacobson LLP, a large-scale firm known for its expertise in delivering such services. The tendering period concluded on 1st May 2025.

This tender provides significant opportunities for large businesses specialising in legal services, as it involves a substantial contract value and a multi-year commitment, ensuring steady business growth within the healthcare sector. Given the selective nature of the procurement method, businesses well-suited to compete in this tender are those that can demonstrate robust experience and capability in handling complex legal matters for large NHS trusts. Such contracts are ideal for firms looking to solidify their presence within the public sector, especially in the UK, where healthcare legalities can be intricate and demanding. While small to medium enterprises and voluntary community and social enterprises were not targeted, large firms with proven track records in similar engagements would find this procurement especially appealing.
