## Summary

Luton Council has completed the procurement process for providing specialist legal services to the Luton Shareholder Group. This contract is valued at £500,000 and aligns with the legal services industry category. Situated in Luton, England, this selective procurement followed a restricted procedure. The contract began on 2nd March 2026 and will be active until 1st March 2029. The award was granted to Capsticks Solicitors LLP on 27th February 2026, and the award notice was published on 25th March 2026.

Businesses specialising in legal services with expertise outside the experience of local government lawyers and advisers may find significant growth opportunities in this contract. As the contract primarily targets SMEs, it offers an avenue for smaller enterprises to engage in public sector work alongside established entities. Those situated in or familiar with the legal intricacies of joint venture partnerships, particularly involving entities like London Luton Airport Limited, will be well-suited to leverage this opportunity for business expansion.

## Notice

Luton Borough Council is the shareholder, or joint venture partner in three entities: London Luton Airport Limited, Foxhall Homes Limited and Connect2Luton. The Luton Shareholder Group, consisting of Members of the Council and senior officers, has been established to oversee the performance of these entities and to advise the Executive of the Council on the exercise of its powers in relation to any matters that are reserved to it. In order to properly carry out its functions of oversight and advising the Executive, the Luton Shareholder Group will, from time to time, require expert, specialist legal advice on matters that are mostly outside the experience of local government lawyers and advisers.
