Legal Panel for Public Sector

Crown Commercial Service · Central government

In brief

Crown Commercial Service awarded legal work to TLT LLP, Trowers and Hamlins LLP and Bevan Brittan LLP and 81 others on 27 August 2026.

It is a framework worth up to £500,000,000 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 30 July 2026.

It is split into 8 lots, so a supplier can bid for part of the work.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

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