The Department for Transport (DfT) is engaging in a procurement process to appoint legal advisers for the Merseyrail CP6 project. The contract, categorised under the legal services industry, specifically CPV code 79100000, involves a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement. The awarded contract is valued at £150,000 and will be active from 2nd October 2024 to 1st July 2025. The procurement stage is currently at the award phase, with the awarding process completed on 19th September 2024. The legal services will support multiple locations, including British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man, the United Kingdom, and other international locations.

Businesses that specialise in legal advisory services, particularly those with experience or interest in the railway sector, can find significant growth opportunities through this tender. The tender is well-suited for firms looking to expand their portfolio by engaging in UK transport infrastructure projects. While this specific contract was awarded to Osborne Clarke LLP, the framework remains an attractive avenue for other large-scale legal service providers to gain contracts with the Department for Transport and similar governmental bodies.
