## Summary

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has initiated a market engagement process for the upcoming procurement of Property Legal Services 3 (PLS3). This engagement is an early stage of the tender process, inviting organisations to express their interest and capabilities in delivering property legal services. The industry category for this procurement is legal services (CPV code 79100000), and it encompasses a wide range of geographical locations, including the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, and the rest of the world. The planning stage is currently active, with the key engagement end date set for 19th February 2025. The DWP, located at Caxton House, Tothill Street, London, is spearheading this procurement effort.

This market engagement offers significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for legal firms with expertise in property legal services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement process is designed to support diverse business types. Engaging in this process can provide businesses with insights into future tender requirements and position them favourably for the eventual contract award. The procurement method involves early engagement to gauge market interest and capacity, which is a crucial step before the formal tendering process begins.

## Notice

The Department for Work and Pensions (the "Department") awarded a contract for Properly Legal Services in 2022, and this contract is due to expire in 2025. It is anticipated that a new contract is likely to be procured in due course, therefore the Department will be initiating market engagement activity and are keen to invite organisations with the capability and capacity to deliver Property Legal Services to express their interest in this potential upcoming opportunity. Please see attached document for full details of the notice.
