This compares to the current framework which was estimated in 2018 to be worth £2.2m over four years. PCH appointed six law firms to that contract.

PCH said it was “seeking bids from suitably qualified and highly experienced service providers of legal services”.

The contract, which is to be divided into six lots, is expected to start on 13 May 2023 and run until 12 May 2027.
