## Summary

Companies House procured independent adjudication services under an individual contract. The requirement is classified as legal services and supports the organisation’s need for an independent adjudicator. Companies House is the central government buyer responsible for the procurement and is based at Crown Way, Cardiff. The awarded supplier, E. Neville LTD, is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The work is a specialist professional service rather than the supply of goods, construction or general administrative support. Businesses considering comparable work for Companies House should have a clear understanding of independent adjudication and the legal-services environment in which Companies House operates, with the ability to provide impartial, credible and professionally delivered adjudication services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Companies House used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. E. Neville LTD received the award for the single lot. The contract was signed on 3 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, with two optional one-year extensions allowing a maximum end date of 31 March 2029. Its value is £66,002.40 excluding VAT and £79,202.88 including VAT. The award date is not separately stated. The contract is active and the award is active; the procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Companies House for an external independent adjudication capability delivered through a specialist legal-services provider. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable expertise in independent adjudication, sound legal judgement and the ability to act impartially in disputes or decisions requiring an external adjudicator. It would also need the professional capacity to provide a dependable service to a central government organisation, maintain appropriate confidentiality and manage the obligations of an ongoing contract, including possible extensions. The award to an SME indicates that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist business rather than only by a large national legal-services firm.
