This procurement process is targeting the public sector across the UK, with a focus on central government departments, local authorities, NHS bodies, and educational establishments among others. The procurement is currently in the Award stage, with the contract period starting on 13th April 2018 and concluding on 31st March 2021. The estimated value of the framework is £46 million, and the open procedure for tenders closed on 5th January 2018, after which suppliers were selected across fourteen regional lots. This framework presents significant opportunities for law firms, especially those that specialise in public sector work and can accommodate the extensive requirements of diverse contracting authorities. There is potential for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to participate, as the framework will allow a maximum of six suppliers per regional lot, enhancing competition and variety in service provision. Businesses with experience in providing legal advisory services to public sector entities will be particularly well-suited to compete for a place in this framework, thereby driving growth and establishing a robust portfolio in public procurement. ## Notice The Contracting Authority wishes to establish a Framework Agreement for the provision of Legal Services. It is being established to meet the needs of Crescent Purchasing Consortium Members, http://www.thecpc.ac.uk/members and is also open for use by all contracting authorities across the public sector throughout the UK (and any future successors to these organisations). These include (but not limited to) central government departments and agencies, Non Departmental Public Bodies, NHS bodies, Local Authorities, Police Authorities, Emergency Services, Educational Establishments, Hospices, Registered Charities, National Parks and Registered Social Landlords. The Framework is being let across thirteen regional Lots and one National One-Stop-Shop lot. Full details of the classification of end user establishments and geographical areas is available at http://www.npg-ltd.com/tenders/.
