## Summary

Wolverhampton City Council is currently in the planning stage for a procurement process titled "Barristers Framework Agreement." This initiative seeks to establish a compliant and cost-effective framework for instructing barristers across various legal specialities pertinent to local government needs. The procurement is classified under legal advisory and representation services, aligning with the UK's Procurement Act 2023. Pre-market engagement activities are scheduled to be conducted via the ProActis Portal, with suppliers having the opportunity to engage until 13 October 2025. The process is stationed in Wolverhampton, within the UKG region, with the framework expected to span from May 2026 to May 2030.

This tender represents a meaningful opportunity for legal firms, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to expand their service delivery in the public sector domain. The framework aims to provide a transparent route for collaboration with local government entities, thus advocating for competitive growth among eligible businesses possessing expertise in legal advisory and representation. Companies interested in capitalising on this opportunity should consider participating in the pre-market engagement to position themselves favourably for the forthcoming tender phase.
