## Summary

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has completed the procurement process for a framework agreement for the provision of legal services, spanning a four-year period starting from 1 April 2025. The framework is divided into two lots: Lot 1 for Public Sector Law and Lot 2 for Corporate & Commercial Legal Services, with a total value of £20,000,000. The procurement was conducted using a restricted procedure above the threshold, and involved selective procurement. The tender period concluded on 20 November 2024, with the contract award made on 3 March 2025. The services will be delivered primarily in London, UK, under the industry classification of legal services (CPV code: 79100000).

This legal services framework presents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in various legal domains. Given that the framework encompasses both public sector and corporate legal services, firms with expertise in these areas can benefit from a stable, long-term partnership with the FCA. The procurement process specifically welcomed participation from Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), giving smaller legal firms a chance to grow by securing significant contracts. The awarded suppliers include prominent law firms such as DENTONS UK AND MIDDLE EAST LLP, Kingsley Napley, and others, indicating a highly competitive and diverse vendor landscape where business growth is fostered.
