## Summary

The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) has extended the contract for Peter Geach Associates Limited to continue providing legal services under the "Extension of Consultant Solicitor Contract." This procurement process falls under the "award" stage, with the contract awarded on 29 July 2024. The contract extension, valued at £88,920, starts on 1 May 2024 and ends on 31 December 2024. This Single Tender Action (STA) method was necessitated by the solicitor not being on any frameworks, ensuring continuity of ongoing key workstreams at the WMCA. The services will be carried out in the West Midlands, England, and are categorised under the CPV code 79100000 for legal services.

This extended contract provides a significant opportunity for businesses in the legal services industry, particularly those specialising in consultancy solicitors. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to take note, as the procurement method and the need for specialised services indicate a preference for nimble and experienced law firms capable of delivering continued support to governmental authorities. The strategic extension solidifies the role of Peter Geach Associates Limited within the WMCA’s operational framework, potentially paving the way for future partnership opportunities in similar or related capacities.

## Notice

A retrospective STA for the extension of contract of Peter Geach, who has been working at the WMCA for 2 years as a Solicitor. The Solicitor is not on any Frameworks and therefore we are only able to extend their contract directly. The extension to this Solicitors contract will also ensure continuity of service of key workstreams currently in progress at the WMCA.
