## Summary

The procurement process for "The Law Society - Practising Certificates (SRA)" was initiated by National Highways Limited, a central government public authority based in Birmingham, UK. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically legal documentation and certification services. Initially, a contract was awarded to TLT LLP on 30th July 2026 through a direct procurement method below the threshold without competition. However, a termination notice followed promptly on 31st July 2026 due to an incorrect supplier being added to the contract. The contract value was initially set at £75,000, with the contract period spanning from 30th July 2026 to 31st July 2031, but was terminated prior to implementation.

This tender, despite its premature termination, presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in legal services, particularly those experienced in certification and documentation. Organisations capable of delivering robust legal support and navigating the specific nuances of practising certificates are well-positioned to benefit from future tenders in this area. The procurement method used suggests that smaller, more agile firms capable of delivering specialised services quickly without the need for competition may find themselves particularly well-suited to competing for similar contracts in the future. Additionally, businesses familiar with governmental procurement processes and those holding the capacity to rectify and support complex legal compliance within government frameworks could find profitable ventures in tenders of this nature.

## Notice

The Authority is required to fund practising certificates for its qualified solicitors to ensure they remain authorised to practise law and provide legal advice to the organisation.
