## Summary

Crescent Purchasing Limited, a public authority operating within the sub-central government sector of the United Kingdom, is initiating a procurement process for legal services. This process is currently in the planning stage, with a focus on establishing a framework that will serve both educational sector members and the broader public sector through Crescent Services Limited. The procurement, categorised under legal services, is intended to begin on 1st February 2026 and conclude by 31st January 2034. This planned framework is set to be structured into lots to adequately address industry-specific needs, such as Academy Conversion Services. Potential bidders should note that a future notice is expected on 1st September 2025, providing further details.

This tender opens ample opportunities for businesses skilled in providing legal services pertinent to the education and public sectors. Legal firms specialising in areas like Academy Conversion are especially well-suited to compete for inclusion in the planned framework agreement. With a contract period spanning eight years, participation could result in sustained growth and collaboration with a significant segment of the public sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to engage, given the tender's suitability criteria that accommodates diverse business scales, offering a robust platform for extending their service reach and establishing competitive advantage in the public sector market.

## Notice

CPC will be tendering for Legal Services to create a framework for our members within the education sector, and also the wider public sector via Crescent Services limited. The exact details of the framework are still to be determined, such as the Lot structure, but it is likely to be split by Lots and include industry specific elements, an example being Academy Conversion and Post Conversion Services. The service provision of Legal Services will be directly from suppliers who are experts within the industry and are able to assist CPC members with what can often be complex and ever-changing legal services.
