## Summary

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) based in London is seeking expert witness services through a limited procurement process, classified under the CPV code 75231100, which pertains to law-courts-related administrative services. The tender, identified as PROC 266-2021, was signed on 27 May 2021 and has a total contract value of £750,000. This process is currently in the award stage, having successfully concluded with the single supplier, Berkeley Research Group (UK) Ltd, following the negotiated procedure without prior publication due to specific technical requirements.

This procurement presents a unique opportunity for firms with specialised legal expertise and experience in expert witness services. Businesses focusing on legal consulting, forensic analysis, and related services would be particularly well-suited to engage with the CMA in future tenders of this nature. The efficient use of specific know-how in legal contexts indicates that there may be upcoming opportunities requiring targeted expertise, particularly for firms well-versed in providing such services in the public sector.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Authority has a requirement for "expert witness" services

### Procurement Information

The CMA's requirement involved the necessity to use specific know-how, technical expertise and experience for the purposes of expert input, and potential expert witness services, which only one economic operator has at its disposal; and no reasonable alternative or substitute exists and the absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement. The CMA may therefore use the negotiated procedure without prior publication in accordance with Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015.
