## Summary

The Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust is currently in the planning stage of renewing its NHS England Accredited Framework Agreement for Legal Services, with a focus on various categories including corporate and commercial law, employment law, and health law. This tender, titled "Legal Services Framework Agreement 2027 NHSCS," is set in the United Kingdom, specifically Leatherhead, Surrey. The procurement process is expected to follow an open procedure, with the legal framework being utilised under UK legislation 2023/54. The framework agreement will begin on 1st February 2027 and end on 31st January 2030, with potential renewal extending to 2035. An initial notice for the realisation of this framework was published on 8th June 2026, with further communications anticipated by 10th July 2026.

This upcoming tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for legal service providers with expertise in the specified categories. The framework's single lot and suitability for SMEs make it accessible for a diverse range of businesses, including small and medium-sized enterprises. Given the substantial contract value and the open procedural approach, firms experienced in public sector legal services will find this a promising opportunity to expand their operations and establish or reinforce their presence in the healthcare and public law sectors. Companies capable of providing comprehensive legal support in areas such as governance and mental health law could leverage this framework to align with NHS requirements and deliver innovative solutions.
