## Summary

The Department for Transport (DfTc) has completed the procurement process for the provision of legal advisers for passenger services under the title "P4105007 The Provision of Legal Advisers for Passenger Services Legal Call Off". The contract, valued at up to £500,000 (excluding VAT), commenced on 1st February 2026 and will conclude on 31st January 2027, covering a duration of 12 months. This tender falls under the legal services category (CPV: 79100000) and was conducted through a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement under Lot 5 of the RM6360 Legal Panel for Government. The procurement process is complete, with Osborne Clarke LLP named as the successful supplier. The locations of service cover the United Kingdom and several international regions including the Channel Islands and Europe.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in legal advisory services, particularly those with expertise in rail and transport sectors. While it might not be directly suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) due to the scale and nature of the contract, larger firms with a strong presence in legal consultancy for government projects could significantly benefit and expand their portfolio. Engaging with this procurement can enhance a firm's credibility and offers a chance to develop a strategic partnership with a major government department. Businesses seeking to expand internationally might also find the diverse range of delivery addresses an attractive aspect of the contract.
