## Summary

The Pension Protection Fund is conducting the PPF Legal Panel procurement process, which is currently at the Award stage. This process, initiated on 29 March 2022, involves the appointment of a panel of six law firms for legal services, with an estimated contract value of £13,000,000 over an initial period of 24 months, running from 1 February 2022 to 31 January 2024. Firms have the option to extend for two additional 12-month periods. The procurement method employed is classified as an Open process under a Light Touch Regime.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for law firms that specialise in legal advisory services and possess expertise in pensions, financial services, litigation, and restructuring. With a substantial estimated contract value, this tender could benefit larger legal firms that are able to meet the qualifications for Lot 1 and subsequently for Lot 2. Firms ready to engage in competitive bids stand to gain a foothold within this crucial sector, especially as potential future work under the contract may exceed initial estimates.

## Notice

The PPF has appointed a panel of six firms to deliver legal services to the PPF (Lot 1) and three firms in respect of providing Legal Services for Assessment Period tasks (Lot 2). The Lot 2 firms are a subset of the Lot 1 firms. The initial contract term is 24 months with options to extend for two further periods of 12 months each. The overall estimated contract value (including the two optional 12 month extensions) is PS13,000,000. This value is an estimate will vary depending on requirements.
