## Summary

Redress Scotland procured specialist legal services to support its statutory functions and ensure decisions comply with the law. The service covers expert advice on decision-making for redress applications, which is the public body's core function. If a Panel Members’ determination is challenged by judicial review, the provider must engage Counsel to represent Redress Scotland and ensure Counsel is fully briefed and knowledgeable about the relevant law. This is a legal services requirement, classified under CPV 79100000. The work is for Redress Scotland, based in Glasgow, and is intended to provide a high-quality, cost-effective, quick and accessible service supporting the organisation's redress scheme.

The procurement has been awarded through the Legal Services framework (SP-22-011). Harper Macleod LLP was appointed as the main service provider, with Brodies LLP appointed as the reserve supplier for conflicts of interest. The awarded value is £250,000. Two bids were recorded. The requirement was evaluated against the expected quality, expertise, cost-effectiveness, speed and accessibility of the legal service, together with its ability to advise on specialist redress decisions and support judicial review proceedings. The tender record gives a closing date of 10 December 2027. The associated contract is recorded as active, and the award is not cancelled or terminated.

This opportunity demonstrates recurring demand from Redress Scotland for specialist public law and redress-scheme advice, rather than general commercial legal work. Credible competitors would need demonstrable expertise in administrative decision-making, statutory duties and the legal framework governing redress applications. They would also need to advise promptly and accessibly on complex individual decisions, while maintaining the quality and cost control expected of a public body. The ability to manage judicial review challenges is important, including engaging suitable Counsel and briefing them effectively on the relevant law. Firms with sufficient capacity to provide responsive advice, handle specialist casework and manage conflicts of interest would be well placed when this requirement next reaches the market.
