## Summary

Scottish Enterprise, in conjunction with Highlands & Islands Enterprise and South of Scotland Enterprise Agency, has completed a procurement process to establish a Legal Services Framework Agreement for 2024-2028. The initiative, aimed at regional economic development, concluded at the award stage on 6th February 2025, with the contract commencing on 17th December 2024. The framework, which encompasses a wide array of legal services, is designed to support various associated public bodies and companies in Scotland. It will cover services such as commercial property, corporate governance, data protection, dispute resolution, employment, intellectual property, and more, over a period of four years. The open procurement method attracted eight bids, with the framework valued at GBP 11,100,000.

The awarded framework presents substantial business growth opportunities for large legal firms capable of delivering a comprehensive range of legal services both domestically and internationally. Firms specialising in commercial law, corporate finance, regulatory compliance, and other associated services stand to benefit significantly. Winning suppliers include Burness Paull LLP, Addleshaw Goddard LLP, Brodies LLP, and CMS Cameron McKenna Nabarro Olswang LLP, who will leverage this framework to expand their service offerings and solidify their presence within the Scottish market. This framework agreement can serve as a robust platform for further business expansion, networking, and increased market visibility.
