Legal Services Framework Agreement 2027 NHSCS

Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust · NHS and health

In brief

Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust 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 £1,000,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 3 years, up to 8 years with extensions, starting 1 February 2027.

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.

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 £1,000,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

NHS Commercial Solutions (hosted by Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust) is preparing to renew our successful NHS England Accredited Framework Agreement for Legal Services. The new Framework will be available to the NHS and wider public sector and is expected to have a single Lot with the following categories of legal services: Core Categories: • Corporate and Commercial Law • Employment Law • Property Law Non-Core Categories: • Health Law • Primary Care Law • Mental Health Law • Law relating to Healthcare Projects • NHS Governance and Public Law Please note that this is a UK1 Pipeline Notice, not a live tender opportunity.

How to bid
