## Summary

The Government Commercial Agency is overseeing a procurement process titled "Provision of Pensions Legal Support," in the legal advisory services industry, to assist in transitioning and exiting the CSPS administration services. The selective procurement involves a call-off from a framework agreement and has a contract value increased to £900,000. The contract period runs from 15 July 2024 to 14 July 2027. The delivery is widespread across regions of the United Kingdom, including additional territories such as the Isle of Man, Guernsey, and Jersey. The procurement stage is in the award update phase with the original procurement method having been tender initiation, now complete, with awarding dated 12 July 2024 and documents published on 29 July 2024.

This tender represents a considerable opportunity for large-scale legal firms with expertise in advisory services to engage in a high-value contract within the public sector. The extended contract period and increased budget offered facilitate further business growth, especially for entities like DLA PIPER UK LLP, already identified as the supplier. Companies experienced in complex legal support and capable of broad regional service delivery across the UK and adjacent territories are encouraged to align with such opportunities. The procurement is aimed at large firms, ruling out SMEs and VCSEs, and now offers further scope with an additional year added to the contract term.

## Notice

The buyer will require legal support to transition and exit the CSPS administration services through a competitive procurement. It expects to take 24 months to transition the services.
