## Summary

The Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP), located in Banbury, United Kingdom, has completed a procurement process for an "Employment Law Advice Provider" under the industry category of Legal Services. The procurement aimed to secure specialist UK employment law advice to manage urgent or sensitive matters as they arise. The process reached the award stage as of 27th November 2025, with DPEL Limited selected as the supplier. Direct procurement was employed, classified as below threshold and without competition, resulting in a contract valued at £5,000. This contract, designated under legal basis 2023/54, is set to begin on 1st January 2026 and conclude on 31st December 2026. A milestone for the future signature date is scheduled by 9th December 2025.

This procurement presents valuable opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) providing legal services, especially those specialising in employment law advice. Businesses with the expertise and flexibility to offer context-specific, timely advice, and those familiar with organisational policies and practices, will find this tender particularly beneficial. Additionally, companies looking to expand their client base within the public undertaking sector may view this as a chance to build valuable partnerships and enhance their market presence. The focus on responsive and urgent legal guidance underscores the importance of reliability and specialty skills, making it an attractive proposition for businesses seeking to expand their footprint within the UK public sector.

## Notice

WRAP requires access to specialist UK employment law advice on an occasional, responsive basis when urgent or sensitive matters arise. This support is currently not required at a volume that justifies a large retainer or ongoing contracted hours; however, when issues do occur, timely expert guidance is essential to manage organisational risk and ensure compliance with employment legislation. Whilst WRAP currently has a relationship with their existing charity Legal Team, there remains a need for a supplementary adviser with deep familiarity with WRAP's operating model, policies and employment practices. This enables swift, context-specific advice when circumstances require immediate action.
