## Summary

Moray Council, located in Elgin, has successfully completed the procurement process for the "Award of External Legal Services," classified under general public services. This contract was procured using an open procedure via a direct award from the CCS Public Sector Legal Services framework RM6240, with the aim of providing comprehensive legal services across the Moray region (UKM62). The procurement process was in the Award stage as of the 4th of August 2025, with Brodies LLP, a large-scale legal firm based in Edinburgh, being the awarded supplier. The contract was signed on the 31st of July 2025, with a value of £215,000 and is currently active. It covers services within the city of Elgin and the surrounding area, with the potential for a twelve-month extension.

This procurement presents a significant business opportunity for large legal service providers with the capacity to serve regional or local authorities, particularly those able to operate within existing framework agreements, such as CCS. While this contract was awarded to a large firm, such opportunities may encourage businesses to engage in networking and collaborative efforts to compete effectively for similar future contracts. Companies with a strong track record in delivering legal services and experience with public sector frameworks may find promising growth opportunities in partnering with entities like Moray Council. Since the procurement method was open, it indicates a potential for future opportunities in similar capacities where competitive bidding could enhance business visibility and market reach.
