This process involves a planned engagement to bring legal services contract management back in-house, having been previously outsourced. The industry categories involved include Legal advisory and information services, as well as other related legal services, under CPV codes 79140000, 79111000, and 79110000. The engagement phase started on 12th June 2025 and is set to conclude by 12th September 2025. The tender's scope spans multiple locations, including the United Kingdom and various international territories. The endeavour primarily concerns services as the main procurement category. This preliminary market engagement offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in legal services. It is particularly suited for firms with experience in providing comprehensive legal advisory and representation services that align with emerging trends in the field. By contributing to the development of the framework's scope and specification, participating businesses can directly influence its design, ensuring it meets current and future demand. Small to medium-sized enterprises with innovative legal solutions or large firms looking to expand their portfolio in public sector frameworks would find this tender particularly advantageous. ## 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 Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) is the first step of that process. Due to the fact that this hasn't been contract managed internally for some time, we would like suppliers within the industry to assist us in forming the scope/specification to ensure we are covering what is required for our Members by putting a framework in place that encompasses any new trends or considerations since the agreement was last managed by CPC.
