## Summary

Cheshire East Council has completed a procurement process to enlist a specialist barrister to determine a village green application. This service, titled "Barrister to determine on Sandfield Wood Village green application", falls under the industry category of business services, law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security. The process, which utilised a limited procurement method below the competition threshold, was executed in the region of Crewe, United Kingdom, and awarded on 1st November 2025, with the contract running until 31st October 2026. The Council, identified by the scheme GB-PPON, served as the buyer, and the procurement was settled through a contract valued at £25,000 net, signed on 1st November 2025.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in legal and consulting services, particularly barristers with expertise in handling village green applications and public inquiries. Organisations like Kings Chambers, which was awarded the contract, demonstrate that small to medium enterprises (SMEs) in the legal domain can effectively compete for such procurement opportunities with sub-central governments. Businesses capable of delivering specialised legal opinions and representation in similar settings are well-suited to engage in future procurement cycles of this nature, encouraging growth within this niche market.
