This legal support services contract, valued at £800,000 for an initial two-year period with the possibility of two additional one-year extensions valued at £400,000 each, focuses on providing legal advice and support for DESNZ’s International Climate Finance programmes. The services span expertise in foreign, corporate, and commercial law, especially in drafting contracts and advising on complex financial vehicles. The procurement was conducted through a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded on 8 June 2026, with the period extending to 7 June 2028, and covers locations including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man, the UK, and the Rest of the World. This procurement presents a significant opportunity for firms with capabilities in delivering specialised legal services, particularly those adept in international transactions and foreign law. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are deemed suitable for this opportunity by DESNZ, fostering potential growth in these sectors. This contract underscores an expanding market for legal services intersecting with government climate finance programmes, making it an ideal fit for businesses that specialise in legal frameworks regarding international finance and commercial law. ## Notice The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) has re-procured its legal support services contract via framework. The contract value is PS800,000 (excl. VAT) for 2 years with two one-year extension options, each with a value of PS400,000. DESNZ has selected TLT LLP through a thorough procurement process to provide legal advice and support the development and delivery of its International Climate Finance (ICF) portfolio of programmes. This support is required on an ad hoc and project-specific basis, complementing the legal advice currently obtained through the Government Legal Department. The TLT LLP will provide expertise in foreign, corporate, and commercial law, particularly in areas where DESNZ lacks specialist legal expertise or capacity through the Government Legal Department. This includes drafting legally binding contracts and funding arrangements governed by foreign law, advising on complex commercial or financial investment vehicles, and providing guidance on non-legally binding arrangements with international organisations. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b65b918f-5b64-4a00-adb2-e3f554cb80a2 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a framework agreement | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Jul 2026 | | Submission deadline | 15 Mar 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 7 Jun 2026 | | Contract period | 7 Jun 2026 - 7 Jun 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £800,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £800,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DESNZ | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1A 2HP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | TLT | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79100000 - Legal services ## Release History - 10 Jul 2026 at 15:26 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b65b918f-5b64-4a00-adb2-e3f554cb80a2 - 8 Jul 2026 at 14:23 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b65b918f-5b64-4a00-adb2-e3f554cb80a2 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b65b918f-5b64-4a00-adb2-e3f554cb80a2 10th July 2026 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://beisgroup.ukp.app.jaggaer.com/go/71631314019F420DD596 Contract - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b83c0196-ace6-41ea-804a-0a2cd9f29fe8 Redacted contract - https://beisgroup.ukp.app.jaggaer.com/esop/toolkit/negotiation/myEcm/ContractOverview.do?id=1579285&_ncp=1783697086639.1968641-1 ICF Legal Services Contract ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
