## Summary

The procurement process is led by Natural Resources Wales for the "Criminal & Civil Litigation Services Framework 2024." This framework spans across North, Mid, South West, and South East Wales, focusing on the environmental protection industry category. The procurement stage is complete, with the award dated 24th September 2024, and the framework's current iteration set to replace the existing one expiring on 8th October 2024. The procurement method utilized is an open procedure, ensuring broad participation from potential suppliers, with the framework covering both criminal and civil litigation services. The contracts have been awarded to suppliers, each receiving an active status with a value of £50,000, signed on 23rd September 2024.

This tender presents significant opportunities for legal service providers specialising in litigation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like MARTYN PROWEL LIMITED and Gamlins Law Limited, along with larger firms such as Hugh James, have all participated successfully. The framework offers ample scope for experts in criminal and civil litigation to engage with a major government body, thereby facilitating business growth through stable and high-value contracts. Businesses well-suited to compete include those with robust litigation capabilities and the ability to demonstrate a mix of quality and competitive pricing, as reflected in the award criteria (40% quality, 60% price).
