## Summary

The West Midlands Combined Authority has successfully completed the procurement process for the "Housing Development Funding Agreements" aimed at contracting external solicitors for advising on housing development grants. Categorised under legal services, this contract is valued at £90,000 and involves delivery within the West Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement utilised a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement, marking the award stage of the process on 2nd March 2026. The contract period spans from 3rd March 2026 to 31st January 2028. Businesses interested in legal services within this region were invited to participate before the tender period ended on 31st January 2026.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities for large legal firms capable of providing specialised advisory services for housing development grants. However, it is less suitable for SMEs or VCSEs. The established partnership with DWF Law LLP, a large-scale supplier, underscores the emphasis on capability to handle significant and complex legal requirements within the specified contract period. Companies with expertise in legal services and the capacity to operate within the framework agreements will find such procurements advantageous for expanding their professional reach and gaining access to ongoing governmental projects within the West Midlands region.
