## Summary

The Pension Protection Fund (PPF) is engaged in planning for a procurement process titled "Legal Panel 2026" aimed at securing future legal services across the United Kingdom. This falls under the industry category of legal services (CPV 79100000). Currently in the planning stage, the process includes a pre-market engagement phase, with a due date for stakeholder feedback set for the 17th of April 2025. The engagement aims to collect insights to formulate a robust procurement strategy by the 16th of June 2025. Services are expected to begin on the 1st of February 2026 and may extend until 31st of January 2030.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for legal service providers, particularly those experienced in public sector contracts. It is well-suited for SMEs that specialise in legal services and are looking to expand their portfolio by engaging with a prominent public authority. Businesses participating in the pre-market engagement have the chance to influence the procurement approach, thereby positioning themselves advantageously for the forthcoming tender. With the framework agreement approach, this process offers potential for long-term collaboration and growth. Interested parties should leverage their expertise to contribute valuable insights and prepare for subsequent stages of bidding.
