## Summary

The procurement process for legal services by St Helens College, located in the North West region of the United Kingdom, is now at the Award stage. This tender covers various legal areas such as general legislation, commercial and contractual matters, property and estates, dispute resolution and litigation, and human resources and employment law. The contract, procured under the Crown Commercial Services RM6240 lot 1a, follows a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement, classified under the legal services industry category, had a tender period ending on 12th February 2026, with the contract period set from 1st June 2026 to 5th September 2028. St Helens College served as the buying organisation, and the contract valued at £56,250 was awarded to Ward Hadaway LLP on 30th April 2026.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for legal service providers, particularly those with expertise in the specified areas of law. Although the procurement was conducted selectively through a framework agreement, it highlights the importance of establishing pre-existing relationships or being part of relevant frameworks such as Crown Commercial Services. Large firms like Ward Hadaway LLP, which are already positioned within such frameworks, are well-suited to compete and secure contracts of this nature due to the scale and resource capabilities needed to handle comprehensive legal service requirements over the multiple-year contract period.
