## Summary

Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council initiated a tender for a "Legal Services Framework" aimed at procuring a range of legal services to extend its in-house team. The tender process adhered to an open procedure, governed by the Public Contract Regulations 2015, and was divided into four lots: Planning, Commercial and Contracts, Property, and Housing. These services, valued at £400,000, are classified under CPV code 79112000, focusing on legal representation services. The procurement stage has progressed from tender in February 2025 to an active contract award stage in January 2026, with contracts signed on 2nd January 2026. Located in Nuneaton, within the region UKG13, the project covered by the GPA (Government Procurement Agreement) had its tender period ending on March 26, 2025, with the framework agreement allowing contract renewals and having awarded a maximum of two suppliers per lot.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for legal firms offering comprehensive services across various domains such as planning, commercial contracts, property, and housing sectors. Both large firms and SMEs would find this tender beneficial due to its structured division into lots, allowing diverse participation. Suppliers like Freeths LLP, Davitt Jones Bould, and Anthony Collins Solicitors LLP, which already secured contracts, illustrate the potential for businesses with expertise in legal services to expand their client base within the UK government sector. The open procedure and e-tendering submission method make it accessible for firms to compete, especially those with SRA (Solicitors Regulation Authority) qualified individuals. Overall, the framework is an excellent platform for capable firms to forge strong partnerships with regional authorities, enhancing their portfolio in public sector legal support services.
