## Summary

The Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) has completed the procurement process for the provision of legal advisory services, classified under the legal services category (CPV code: 79100000). The contract, valued at £400,000, will be in effect from 6th September 2021 until 29th September 2023. This open tender was announced with an award date of 3rd September 2021, and the services will primarily be delivered in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure, allowing for wider participation from interested suppliers.

This tender presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses specialising in legal advisory services, especially those equipped to offer tailored regulatory support and monitoring in legal updates. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the legal sector seeking to expand their client base may find this contract appealing. With the requirement for in-house support sessions and adaptive legal advice to navigate regulatory changes, firms with expertise in these areas are particularly well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future.

## Notice

The services required from The Supplier are to provide such advice, support and drafting as the Customer may require in relation to regulatory activities carried out; This will include but not limited to providing tailored monitoring and updates in areas of interest to the Customer and separately flag up/send alerts on relevant changes/proposed changes in law, policy and regulation as and when they are announced, with brief comment on the effect/potential effect on The Customer. The Customer is particularly interested in key cases being flagged up to us. Provide in-house surgeries from time to time - maybe 2/3 times per year; lawyers on site to discuss/present on legal questions/updates - this is different to the tailored training offered by them and might be useful to set up as regular Q&A session, recent hot topics, proposed/upcoming changes to law/policy/regulation for example. The Customer cannot guarantee any amount of work; the contract will be arranged as a call off contract providing legal support to the Customer.
