## Summary

The public procurement process for legal services to facilitate the recovery of outstanding debt has been concluded by NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, a public law body hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust. The procurement, classified under CPV code 79100000 for legal services, was executed via a selective, restricted procedure utilising the CCS Framework RM6240. The awarded contract commenced on 7th October 2025 and is valued at £120,000. The services are to be provided by Blake Morgan LLP within the UK region, specifically in Wales (UKL). The procurement stage is marked as complete, with the direct award indicating a focus on price as the award criterion. The High Court, based in London, serves as the review body, ensuring compliance with regulations.

This tender presents significant opportunities for law firms and legal service providers, particularly those with expertise in debt recovery. SMEs, like Blake Morgan LLP, who have established capabilities in legal services within the public sector framework, are ideally positioned to compete. The utilisation of a restricted procedure underscores the importance of possessing a pre-approved standing within the CCS framework, which could potentially limit competition to well-qualified firms. As this contract applies to legal services across a regional jurisdiction, engaging in such tenders can facilitate business growth and exposure within the public sector in Wales, leveraging the structured procurement process to secure further opportunities in similar frameworks.
