## Summary

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE), a central government public authority in the UK, executed a contract for legal services concerning the provision of an external lawyer to draft a Statutory Instrument (SI). This contract, tied to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, was intended to implement recommendations outlined by the Work and Pensions Committee Inquiry regarding asbestos management. The tender, conducted through a direct procurement method below the threshold without competition, is now in the award stage. This procurement process began with the contract period starting on 16th June 2026 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2027. The location for this project spans across multiple UK regions including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, UKK, UKL, and UKM.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in legal services, particularly those experienced in government regulations and statutory drafting. The requirement for a specialised legal service without competition implies potential for large-scale legal firms or independent legal practitioners who have a strong track record with similar government contracts. Such opportunities not only bolster the firm's portfolio in handling significant regulatory amendments but also enhance their visibility and credibility within the public sector domain. Given the specific nature of the procurement, companies in the legal industry keen on expanding their footprint within government legislative processes will find this contract highly beneficial for strategic growth.
