## Summary

Ofcom procured estates and property legal services for its offices in England and Wales. The requirement covers legal advice and support connected with property and estates activity, including commercial property management services. Ofcom is the public authority buyer, with the work relating to its office estate across the two countries. This is a specialist professional-services opportunity for legal practices with relevant commercial property and estates expertise, rather than a construction, facilities-management or general administrative contract. The requirement was arranged as a single procurement covering the stated service scope, so suppliers would need to provide a coherent property legal service across Ofcom’s relevant offices and jurisdictions.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It had one lot and received four bids, all of which reached the final stage. The award was made to Burges Salmon LLP on 20 August 2026. The awarded value is £150,000 excluding VAT, or £180,000 including VAT. The contract runs from 20 August 2026 to 30 June 2029, with a maximum possible end date of 30 June 2031 through two further 12-month renewal periods. The recorded procurement category is services. The process used limited competition, and the selected supplier is a large organisation. The award is active and the tender status is complete.

This award demonstrates demand from Ofcom for a specialist estates and property legal service covering offices in both England and Wales. Competitors seeking similar work from this buyer would need credible expertise in commercial property management and broader property and estates matters, with the capacity to support a multi-office public-sector client across both jurisdictions. A strong competitor profile would include a legal team able to provide consistent advice and manage the practical legal requirements associated with an office estate. Four suppliers reached the final stage, while none of the final-stage bidders were recorded as SMEs, indicating that the previous competition attracted established providers rather than smaller firms. The requirement is therefore most relevant to law firms with substantial, directly relevant property capability.
