## Summary

Argyll and Bute Council, located in Lochgilphead, Scotland, has completed the procurement process for the provision of legal services for agreement drafting. This contract, focused within the industry category of general public services, addresses the Council’s need for external legal support due to internal capacity constraints. The procurement followed a limited method without prior publication, utilising the Glasgow City Council framework agreement for Legal Services—specifically Lot 2. The contract was awarded on 21st April 2026, with the agreements required to be delivered in the Argyll and Bute region.

The appointment of Morton Fraser MacRoberts LLP as the supplier provides opportunities for large-scale legal firms looking to expand their portfolio within public sector services.

This specific contract, valued at £7,500, involved direct award procedures—demonstrating potential for quick contract acquisition for firms positioned within or adaptable to such frameworks.
