## Summary

NHS England has concluded a procurement process for the renewal of Legal team Practising Certificates for the year 2025/2026. This contract pertains to services within the legal industry, specifically focusing on subscription services necessary for NHS England's in-house lawyers to maintain their practising status in compliance with legal requirements. The procurement was executed through a direct, below-threshold method, bypassing the need for competitive bidding, and the contract was awarded to the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) on 5th September 2025. The contract, valued at £17,090.85, is active from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2026, ensuring uninterrupted certification for NHS England’s employees across the United Kingdom.

This procurement is significant for businesses that specialise in providing legal certification services and are authorised regulatory bodies, as it highlights the potential for continued partnerships with central government authorities like NHS England. While this specific procurement did not include competitive tendering, understanding such needs can position similar organisations to participate in future opportunities, especially for businesses capable of providing regulatory compliance services at a national scale.
