## Summary

BIP Solutions Limited procured legal advisory services for Project Water, using the Government Commercial Agency’s RM6360 legal panel, Lot 3 for finance and high-risk or innovative matters. The requirement concerns legal support on a specific project rather than general legal services. Work is associated with Sheffield, in Yorkshire and the Humber. The procurement is categorised as a services contract for legal services (CPV 79100000).

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Ashurst Perkins Coie UK LLP. The award was made on 28 August 2026, for £28,000. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The procurement used the RM6360 legal panel, Lot 3, covering finance and high-risk or innovation work. The method is recorded as “Other”, without further explanation. The published evaluation basis and specific eligibility requirements are not described in the available process details.

This award shows demand from BIP Solutions Limited for specialist legal advice on finance and high-risk or innovative matters, delivered through the Government Commercial Agency’s RM6360 legal panel. Ashurst Perkins Coie UK LLP, a large supplier, was selected for this project-specific requirement. A credible competitor when comparable legal work returns would need demonstrable expertise in finance-related advice and the ability to handle complex, high-risk or innovative projects. Familiarity with the relevant legal panel and its Lot 3 scope is commercially pertinent, as that was the route used here. The requirement was explicitly marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so suppliers should consider the scale and organisational profile expected for this type of work.」#+#+#+#+񎟋
