## Summary

UK Export Finance procured legal advisory services under the title ECA Call-Off 001. The work covers legal advice for the organisation’s export finance activities and is classified as legal advisory services (CPV 79111000). It is a services contract delivered in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is UK Export Finance, based at 1 Horse Guards Road, London. The requirement is a call-off from an existing legal services framework, indicating that the work is intended for a supplier able to provide advisory support to a public export finance body rather than general administrative or operational services. The procurement is focused on a single legal advisory requirement for UK Export Finance.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 1 July 2026 at 23:59. UK Export Finance awarded the contract to Allen Overy Shearman Sterling LLP on 13 July 2026. The awarded value is £855,000. The contract runs from 13 July 2026 to 12 August 2028. The award is active. The procurement record does not set out separate lots or a stated award-criteria weighting. The published outcome therefore shows a framework-based, selective route to market, with one supplier selected for the UK-wide legal advisory services requirement.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates an established demand at UK Export Finance for substantial, ongoing legal advisory support delivered through a framework call-off. A credible future competitor would need to be able to advise a public-sector export finance organisation across its UK activities, provide sufficient legal capacity for a multi-year relationship, and operate effectively within framework call-off procedures. The selected supplier is a large law firm, so comparable scale, breadth of legal expertise, quality assurance and the ability to resource continuing advisory work would be important indicators of competitiveness. Firms without framework access or the capacity to support a major institutional client are less well placed.
