## Summary

Worcestershire County Council procured legal advisory services to support a proposed extension to an Integrated Waste Management Services contract. The advice covers public procurement, subsidy control and wider commercial matters relating to the existing contract between Worcestershire County Council, Herefordshire County Council and West Mercia Waste Management Limited. The requirement was managed by Worcestershire County Council and delivered in the West Midlands. It was a services contract for legal advice and support, classified under CPV 79111000. The work concerns a substantial, operational waste-management arrangement involving local authorities and their waste-management company, rather than the provision of waste collection, treatment or disposal services themselves.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 26 September 2025 to Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP. The award value is £100,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 1 October 2025 to 30 November 2027. The requirement was awarded through a selective call-off from the CCS RM6179 framework, rather than through an open standalone competition. The tender submission deadline was 26 September 2025 at 5pm. The selected supplier is recorded as an active award recipient. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the contract period reflects the planned provision of legal advice and support for the proposed extension.

This award demonstrates demand from Worcestershire County Council for specialist legal support at the intersection of public procurement, subsidy control and commercial contracting in the waste-management sector. A credible future competitor would need lawyers able to advise public bodies on extending complex existing service arrangements, assess procurement-law implications and address subsidy-control issues alongside practical commercial advice. Relevant experience with local-authority contracts, integrated waste-management services and multi-party public-sector arrangements would strengthen a future proposition. Suppliers should also be able to operate through the relevant CCS framework route, or understand how framework call-offs are structured, and provide a small, focused team capable of combining public-sector legal expertise with commercial judgement.
