## Summary

This procurement process involves the Department for Transport (DfTc) seeking legal advisors for the High Speed 1 Concession. It falls under the category of legal services with a focus on rail legal services. The buyer, DfTc, is located at Great Minster House, London, England. The procurement method used was a call-off from a framework agreement, specifically the Crown Commercial Services RM6360 Legal Panel for Government. The tender activity was complete with Osborne Clarke LLP awarded the contract on 16th March 2026. Key dates include the start of the contract period on 27th April 2026, ending on 26th April 2028, with a potential extension by 12 months. The contract value is £750,000 excluding VAT.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in legal services within the rail industry. It is particularly relevant for large firms capable of handling complex legal work, given the scale of the contract. While the procurement was performed through a selective call-off method, which may limit participation, firms involved in legal advisory services and familiar with government procurement frameworks, such as the Crown Commercial Services Legal Panel, could find potential growth through similar opportunities. This contract potentially opens doors to international engagements, considering the delivery addresses spanning British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, and other locations.

## Notice
