## Summary

The procurement process for legal services was initiated by the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) in the United Kingdom. The tender, titled "External Legal Services for BEIS International Climate Finance," falls under the legal services category and was awarded on 27th May 2021. The procurement method used was selective, with a call-off from a framework agreement, and the contract period spans from 7th June 2021 to 6th June 2022. The tender concluded on 6th April 2021, with a maximum contract value of £500,000.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in legal services, particularly those experienced in foreign, corporate, and commercial law. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations may find advantageous prospects in competing for such contracts, as these entities are encouraged to participate. Businesses well-versed in navigating legal complexities involving foreign jurisdictions and corporate matters will be particularly well-suited to engage in this procurement process.

## Notice

The main aims of this contract is to appoint a service provider for legal advice and support for the development and delivery of the BEIS ICF portfolio of programmes. The specific requirements will be driven by the needs of individual programmes. But we anticipate the support to be on matters of foreign, corporate and commercial law where internally BEIS either does not have the required specialist legal expertise or does not have sufficient capacity. Many of the projects that BEIS invests in require BEIS to enter into contracts governed by foreign legal jurisdictions (e.g. German and Dutch law) or contribute to more complex commercial or financial investment vehicles, or a combination of both, which are both areas where BEIS does not have sufficient expertise.
