## Summary

The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service, located at 25 Chambers Street, Edinburgh, has completed a tender process for the provision of Legal Services, falling under the social protection and public order and safety sectors. This procurement, initiated as a selective process and classified as a service contract, has resulted in the awarding of two contracts, each signed on 24th February 2020, with a total value of £1,100,000. The procurement process involved bids for two lots with all bids being submitted electronically, culminating in a completion status on 8th April 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for legal firms, particularly those specialising in public law and services, to establish or expand their presence in the public sector. Law firms with the capacity to handle large governmental contracts would be well-suited to compete, and could benefit from the ongoing legal service needs of the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service. Local firms may also find collaborative avenues with larger entities like Anderson Strathern LLP and Shepherd and Wedderburn LLP, who were awarded the contracts following the mini-competition phase of the procurement process.
