## Summary

The recent procurement process conducted by the Equality and Human Rights Commission, located in Manchester, United Kingdom, involves the provision of legal counsel services. The contract titled "Legal Counsel" falls under the services category and utilizes a direct procurement method due to being below the threshold, thus proceeding without competition. The tendering process culminated in an award stage, which was completed on 14th October 2025. The service delivery is expected across multiple regions in the UK, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, UKK, UKL, and UKM. The contract term ran from 13th August 2025 to 30th September 2025, with a gross contract value of £14,400.

This procurement offers a significant opportunity for legal service providers, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like the awarded supplier, Old Square Chambers, based in London. With a focus on legal services coded under CPV 79100000, companies with strong capabilities in providing counsel advice are prime candidates for such tenders. For businesses seeking to expand their footprint in the public sector and tap into central government contracts, engaging in similar procurement opportunities could be instrumental for growth and establishing credibility within the industry.
