## Summary

South Norfolk Council has completed a direct award process for the provision of legal services through the Procurement Services Framework Y21012. This contract, titled "Legal Services for South Norfolk Council," falls under the CPV classification for legal services. The procurement process was undertaken using a limited method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a competitive call, as it was outside the scope of the directive. The contract was awarded to Birketts LLP, a supplier based in Ipswich, with a contract value of GBP 200,000. The contract was activated on 28th June 2026 and corresponds to the region UKH17.

This procurement process, while complete, highlights opportunities for firms offering competitive legal services capabilities, particularly those structured to engage in direct awards. Businesses specialising in legal consultancy and support services that can operate within established frameworks and manage direct call-off contracts will find similar future opportunities within local authority contexts. The absence of a competitive call process may appeal to firms that maintain established relationships with public bodies, like local councils, that are keen to expedite service delivery through frameworks.
