This tender, identified as HCPC/TRN/2025/32, has reached the 'tenderUpdate' stage as of 3rd November 2025. The contract is divided into two Lots, both focusing primarily on legal services with an industry classification of '79100000'. The procurement method is open with no electronic submissions accepted, and the framework agreement allows for competition reopening. Businesses have until 24th November 2025 at 10:00 AM to submit their bids, with the expected contract award date set for 16th December 2025. The contracts under Lots 1a and 2a are valued at £480,000 and £2,400,000 gross respectively, with the potential for extension totalling four years under a 2+1+1-year structure. This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can offer high-quality legal services. With a heavy emphasis on quality (75%) over cost (25%) in award evaluation, businesses that excel in providing comprehensive corporate and regulatory legal advice are well-positioned to benefit. Participation in this tender not only provides direct market revenue but also enhances reputation and expertise in public law and regulatory frameworks. Companies with established legal acumen and the capacity to support regulatory functions such as education, registration, and fitness to practice processes are particularly well-suited for this opportunity. ## Notice The HCPC requires high quality and comprehensive legal advice and services to support its operational and regulatory functions.
