## Summary

London Borough of Islington commissioned specialist legal and commercial advisory services to support the expiry of two care home-related public-private partnership contracts. The work concerns the legal and commercial issues involved in bringing those arrangements to expiry, rather than general legal support across the Council’s services. The buying organisation is the London Borough of Islington, and the requirement relates to the Council’s care home partnerships in London. The service falls within legal advisory work.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Sharpe Pritchard LLP, which also signed the contract. The Council used a below-threshold procedure; the stated method detail does not identify a specific route. The contract was signed on 30 June 2026 and runs from 30 June to 31 July 2026, with provision for the Council to extend it by up to 11 months in total, to no later than 30 July 2027. The contract value is £40,998 excluding VAT (£49,197.60 including VAT). There was one lot, covering the support for both care home-related PPP contract expiries. No evaluation criteria are recorded in the process information.

For legal and commercial advisers, this award shows that Islington has bought focused expertise to manage the expiry of care home PPP arrangements. A credible competitor for comparable work would need demonstrable experience advising public bodies on the legal and commercial aspects of PPP contract expiry, and the ability to coordinate those strands across more than one care home contract. The requirement is specialist and tightly focused, rather than a broad legal services commission; firms with relevant public-sector partnership and care-sector contract experience would therefore be better placed to compete when the Council next needs this type of support. The selected supplier is an SME law firm, demonstrating that a smaller specialist practice was able to undertake the work.
