Sovereign Network Group · Local or regional public body

In brief

Sovereign Network Group has announced plans to buy legal work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £41,500,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 3 years, up to 5 years with extensions, starting 29 November 2026.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 13 bids per contract for legal contracts in this region (from 15 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £41,500,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

SNG intends to put in place an agreement for the provision of Legal Services for internal use only. A high level lotting structure being proposed is: Lot 1 Governance, Regulation and Corporate Lot 2 Housing Management Lot 3 Development and Property Lot 4 Finance and Securitisation Lot 5 Human Resources Lot 6 Procurement and Commercial

  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
