## Summary

This procurement, targeting legal advisory and representation services, will primarily serve educational and public sector institutions across multiple regions including the United Kingdom, Europe, and others. The procurement method invites suppliers to deliver high-quality, cost-effective legal services, with the contract set to commence on 30 March 2026 and conclude on 29 March 2029. The tender process initiated on 22 October 2025 and reached the award update stage on 17 April 2026, marking this procurement's completion.

Potential suppliers such as Clarke Willmott LLP, VWV, and others have been included in this framework's roster, highlighting the procurement's suitability for firms keen to expand their reach in the education and public sectors.

## Notice

For the past few years, CPC has outsourced the contract management of its Legal Services framework agreement for various reasons, one of which being capacity internally. We are now looking to bring this framework back in-house and this tender exercise will form the new iteration of the framework. Suppliers must be capable of delivering high-quality, cost-effective legal advice and representation to institutions such as schools, academies, colleges, universities, and educational trusts, as well as local authorities and the wider public sector. CPC will be using the MultiQuote e-Tendering platform to carry out this tender.
