## Summary

The Commonwealth Games - Legal Services tender was issued by the Department for Culture Media & Sport, based in London, to solicit legal advisory services related to the potential hosting of the 2022 Commonwealth Games following the withdrawal of Durban as the host. This procurement process was completed with an awarded contract value of £21,506. The contract period commenced on 24 March 2017 and concluded on 30 June 2017. The tender period ended on 20 March 2017.

This tender presents an opportunity for legal firms, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), specialising in advisory services, to participate in significant public sector work. Businesses with experience in sports law and public event management would be well-positioned to compete for similar future contracts, especially those that demonstrate capability in developing comprehensive selection processes for event hosts.

## Notice

In light of the recent decision by the Commonwealth Games Federation that the 2022 Commonwealth Games will no longer be held in Durban, a number of UK cities that had previously expressed a desire to bid to host the 2026 Commonwealth Games have also expressed an interest in stepping in to host in 2022. DCMS is seeking legal advice on various factors including the development of a host city selection pack and process, which will be required should government decide to run a competition to select a potential host city for 2022.
