## Summary

The University of the West of England has completed a procurement process for legal services related to High Court litigation, with the contract focusing on legal fees. Categorised under the CPV code 79100000 for Legal Services, the procurement used a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract is valued at £50,000 and involves services within the South West region of the United Kingdom. The tender process concluded on 19th January 2026, leading to a contract period from 20th to 21st January 2026. Bevan Brittan LLP was awarded the contract on 19th January 2026, and the award was published on 5th February 2026.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for large legal service providers, particularly those experienced in handling litigation at the High Court level.

Engaging in such contracts can enhance the participating firm’s visibility and reputation in handling complex legal matters, potentially leading to more prestigious and higher-value engagements.
