## Summary

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency bought legal services relating to its Scottish properties. The requirement is described as legal fees for Scottish properties, covering services from August 2026; no more detailed legal work or property locations are identified. The buying organisation is the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, a central government agency. The awarded supplier was DLA Piper UK LLP. This is a focused professional-services requirement for a public-sector property portfolio in Scotland, rather than a purchase of goods or construction work.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Agency used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. DLA Piper UK LLP was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 31 August 2026 and runs from 1 to 30 September 2026. Its stated value is £10,817.67 excluding VAT (£12,981.20 including VAT). The requirement title refers to legal fees for Scottish properties, with the description indicating services from August 2026. No evaluation criteria are recorded; the direct award was made without a competitive evaluation. The contract is below threshold.

For this buyer’s Scottish-property legal work, a credible competitor would need to demonstrate relevant legal-services capability and the capacity to advise on property matters in Scotland. The award shows that the Agency has used a direct, non-competitive route for a small, short-duration requirement, so suppliers should understand that this particular purchase was not decided through an open contest. DLA Piper UK LLP, recorded as an SME, was selected. Firms with a suitable Scottish property practice and experience serving central government clients would be well placed to respond to comparable requirements if they arise. The scope recorded is narrow: legal fees linked to the Agency’s Scottish properties, not general legal support across unrelated areas.
