## Summary

East Suffolk Council has completed the procurement process for legal services, primarily focusing on upcoming Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPS) within the council's region. The contract was awarded under the Crown Commercial Services Framework - Public Sector Legal Services RM6240, Lot 2a. The award decision was made without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the contract's nature falling outside usual directive scopes, leading to a limited procurement method. Clyde & Co LLP has been awarded the contract valued at £170,000, with the contract signed on 10th May 2025. The industry category is legal services, classified under CPV 79100000, with delivery centred on East Suffolk, specifically in the UKH14 region.

This tender for legal services presents strong opportunities for firms specialising in infrastructure-related legal guidance, particularly those capable of providing high-quality strategic advice aligned with municipal and regional policies. Businesses with experience in legal frameworks associated with significant infrastructure projects and public sector consultancy are well-positioned to thrive in such engagements. The procurement emphasised quality, with a substantial portion of the award criteria devoted to this aspect. Organisations that can offer innovative legal solutions and insights into the complexities involved in planning and participating in infrastructure undertakings stand to benefit immensely from this sector.
