## Summary

The procurement process has concluded with the award for the "Historic England Legal Framework - AWARD" aimed at securing external legal services for Historic England and English Heritage. The lead buying organisation, Historic England, located in Swindon, Wiltshire, facilitated this process which falls under the industry category of Legal advisory and information services (CPV: 79140000). The procurement method selected was a competitive dialogue, targeting qualified legal firms to support a seamless service delivery over a four-year term starting 1st November 2025 and ending 30th September 2029. Notable suppliers awarded include Bevan Brittan LLP, Trowers & Hamlins LLP, and Womble Bond Dickinson (UK) LLP. The award stage was completed on 21st October 2025.

This tender provides substantial business growth opportunities for legal firms specialising in various legal services such as advisory, representation, and information services. Businesses that possess the necessary expertise and can operate in diverse regions including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, and across Europe, are well-suited for these opportunities. Although the panel has been selected, participating in such frameworks can pave the way for long-term partnerships and project collaborations with Historic England and affiliated bodies.

## Notice

The in-house Legal Department of Historic England provides or procures all legal advice and services to Historic England and English Heritage. In cases where either the expertise does not exist in-house or there is not the capacity to do it, work is put out to a panel of external legal firms. We are seeking to appoint a panel of external legal firms for a four-year term to assist us to provide a seamless legal advice service to Historic England and English Heritage staff.
