## Summary

This procurement process involves Thurrock Council as the buying organisation, seeking legal support for the Norwich to Tilbury Development Consent Order (DCO). The contract, identified as Ps-2025-140, falls under the industry category of services, specifically legal services, and was conducted using a limited procurement method due to its below-threshold nature, leading to limited competition. The contract was awarded on 9th December 2025 and is located in the United Kingdom, with key activities spread across the UKJ region. The procurement stage is complete, with the initial contract period beginning on 12th November 2025 and running until 3rd November 2026, with a possible extension for an additional 12 months if needed.

The tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in legal services with the ability to support large-scale infrastructure or development projects. Large firms, such as WOMBLE BOND DICKINSON (UK) LLP, who are already active suppliers in the sector, are well-suited to compete in this type of tender due to their scale and expertise. The value of the contract is £55,990 GBP gross, which provides substantial business potential for firms looking to expand their client base through government contracts. The limited competition method could further increase chances for firms with niche expertise in legal consultative support for regional development projects.
