## Summary

UK Export Finance procured legal advisory services under its ECA Call-Off 003 requirement. The work covers legal advice supporting the organisation’s export credit agency activities, classified as legal advisory services (CPV 79111000). It is a services contract delivered in the United Kingdom. The named buying organisation is UK Export Finance, the UK government body responsible for the requirement. The procurement is a call-off from an existing legal services framework, rather than a standalone purchase. The scope is described at a high level as legal advisory services, so firms assessing relevance should compare their legal advisory practice and public-sector or export-finance experience with the framework’s requirements. The selected supplier is White & Case LLP.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 1 July 2026 to White & Case LLP. The award value is £855,000, including the stated GBP currency. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 1 July 2027. It used a selective procedure, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender submission deadline set at 24 June 2026 at 23:59. The opportunity was evaluated within the framework call-off process. The procurement was not divided into separately described lots. UK Export Finance recorded the requirement as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active, and the tender itself is complete.

This award is a useful indicator of demand from UK Export Finance for substantial, specialist legal advisory support delivered through a framework call-off. Competitors would need to be established legal advisers able to support a government export credit agency and handle work of sufficient scale for a large public-sector client. Credibility would depend on demonstrating relevant legal expertise, a team with the capacity to respond to call-off requirements, and experience of advising on complex matters in a regulated or government-facing environment. Firms should also understand how to compete through framework agreements and selective call-offs, including responding precisely to the buyer’s stated legal need. The recorded supplier was a large law firm, suggesting that future competitors should assess their organisational capacity and comparable experience carefully.
