## Summary

British Business Financial Services Ltd commissioned legal services for Project Purple, covering finance and high-risk or innovation-related matters. The requirement was delivered for the buyer in Sheffield, within the Yorkshire and the Humber area. It falls within the services category and concerns legal advice and associated legal support rather than construction, goods supply or operational delivery. The procurement used the Government Commercial Agency’s RM6360 Legal Panel, Lot 3, which is focused on finance and high-risk or innovation work. The selected provider, Addleshaw Goddard LLP, is a large legal practice based in London. The opportunity is therefore relevant to law firms with public-sector experience and capability in complex financial, high-risk or innovative projects, particularly those able to operate through an established government legal panel.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. British Business Financial Services Ltd awarded the contract to Addleshaw Goddard LLP on 30 June 2026 for £35,000 including the stated contract value. The contract runs from 2 July 2026 to 31 December 2026. The requirement was procured through the Government Commercial Agency RM6360 Legal Panel, Lot 3, for finance and high-risk or innovation legal services. The tender had a submission deadline of 30 June 2026. The award was made to one supplier and covers the full stated requirement. The recorded evaluation basis is the panel route and its Lot 3 scope; no separate price or quality weighting is stated. The contract is recorded as active, with no cancellation or termination reported.

For firms that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates demand from British Business Financial Services Ltd for specialist legal support in finance and high-risk or innovation matters. A credible future competitor would need strong expertise in complex financial transactions, risk-sensitive advisory work and legal issues arising from innovative activity. Experience of advising public bodies or publicly backed financial organisations would help demonstrate an understanding of governance, accountability and public-sector decision making. Suppliers would also need the scale and specialist capacity to support a defined project within a short, focused engagement. The incumbent’s profile as a large law firm indicates that substantial institutional capability, experienced teams and the ability to mobilise relevant specialists are important indicators of competitiveness for this buyer’s requirement.
