## Summary

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has completed the procurement process for "Costs Lawyer Services" as part of the legal services industry, with a contract value of £15,000. The procurement was carried out using a selective method, involving a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period commenced on 12th February 2020 and ended on 11th February 2021. This award was published on 31st March 2021, confirming that Plexus Law was selected as the supplier. The procurement was initiated due to an ongoing need for Costs Lawyers and the unavailability of such services from the Government Legal Department (GLD) at the time.

This tender offers significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the legal services sector, specifically those capable of providing high-quality costs lawyer services. Businesses with a focus on public sector contracts, especially existing frameworks or those with a strong understanding of regulatory requirements, would be well-positioned to compete in future similar tenders. Engaging with public sector organisations like the CMA can lead to further growth and exposure within the legal marketplace, especially for SMEs looking to expand their service offerings.
