## Summary

Luton Council procured legal support services. The stated requirement is a legal support contract, classified as legal services (CPV 79100000); no further breakdown of the legal work or its intended purpose is provided. Delivery is associated with Luton, with the procurement’s listed locations also covering the United Kingdom and a range of overseas territories and regions. The buying organisation is Luton Council, based at the Town Hall in Luton. This is a service requirement rather than a purchase of goods or construction work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Addleshaw Goddard LLP. The award was made on 3 November 2025, with a contract value of £90,000. The contract period runs from 4 November 2025 to 30 April 2028. Luton Council used an open procedure. The tender was valued at £90,000, and submissions were due by 31 October 2025. The published information does not describe lots, supplier eligibility conditions or the criteria used to evaluate bids. The award is recorded as active; no later contract-signing or completion outcome is stated.

This award confirms demand at Luton Council for externally supplied legal support on a multi-year basis, delivered by a large legal practice. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need a legal-services practice able to provide sustained support to a local authority and operate at a scale consistent with the awarded supplier. The procurement identifies the service area only as legal support, so the specific practice areas, staffing mix, professional accreditations and delivery model that secured the award cannot be inferred. The open procedure also shows that the requirement was competed through an open route. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to participate, so a smaller firm could be relevant if it can demonstrate the capability and capacity to meet the council’s legal support needs.
