## Summary

De Montfort University is seeking to establish a new Legal Services Panel, set to commence on 1st August 2019, after the conclusion of their current arrangement on 31st July 2019. This tender process, conducted via an open procurement method, aims to secure approximately £1.2 million worth of legal services over four years, with the current spend being around £300,000 annually. The tender period concluded on 3rd May 2019, and the panel will serve to support the university in obtaining additional or specialist external legal advice as necessary. The delivery address for the services will be located in Leicester, East Midlands, UK.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for law firms, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in legal services, to participate in a competitive market. Given the anticipated £1.2 million budget, firms that can provide a range of legal expertise, including patent and copyright consultancy, will find this tender particularly relevant. Law firms looking to expand their portfolio or enter into partnerships with educational institutions should consider submitting their proposals, as the ongoing requirement for legal services in the academia sector presents a stable avenue for business growth.
