## Summary

Portsmouth City Council has completed a procurement process to secure legal support services for the Solent Freeport project. This service involves legal advice on grant funding agreements, subsidy control, and related matters. Bevan Brittan LLP has been awarded the contract, with a total gross contract value of £30,000. The contract commenced on 2nd February 2026 and will run until 31st December 2026. The procurement falls under the category of legal advisory services and was conducted using a method classified as "Below threshold - unknown". The primary location for the delivery of services is within the UKJ31 region in the United Kingdom.

This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in legal advisory services, particularly those with expertise in public sector grant agreements and subsidy regulations. Although the tender process is now complete, similar opportunities may arise as contracts like this often set precedents for future requirements within government projects, such as the Solent Freeport. Specifically, medium to large legal firms with a track record in public sector legal support would be well-positioned to engage with upcoming procurements. Establishing a relationship with Portsmouth City Council could provide long-term growth potential, given the strategic significance of the Freeport initiative.
