## Summary

The tender process for external legal support services, titled "06839-2025," was conducted by the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) under the industry category "Legal Services" (CPV code: 79100000). Based in Birmingham, England, the WMCA sought legal expertise to develop additional Grant Funding Agreement templates necessary for their Integrated Settlement programme. The procurement method was selective, utilising a call-off from the Commercials Services Group (CSG) framework agreement, with a contract valued at £25,000. Key dates within this process included the tender period ending on 7 April 2025, followed by the contract period running from 8 April 2025 to 8 October 2025. The award phase occurred on 7 April 2025 and was published on 16 May 2025.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in legal services, particularly those involved in drafting and managing grant agreements and supporting local government initiatives. Given the project's scope, businesses familiar with public sector work and capable of providing tailored legal consultancy services would be ideal candidates to fill similar requirements. Of note, the procurement process was designed to accommodate small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), encouraging their participation and potential success in future contracts with the WMCA and local authorities. Moreover, companies with existing ties to framework agreements may find streamlined access to such opportunities.
