Sharpe Pritchard LLP has been appointed as a supplier on the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) Legal Panel for Government framework (RM6360) under Lot 1 – Core Legal Services.*
This appointment reinforces our longstanding commitment to the public sector and our reputation for delivering high-quality legal advice to local authorities, central government departments and public bodies across the UK.
Being named on this framework recognises the consortium’s proven expertise and collaborative approach. Both firms were incumbents on the previous CCS Legal Services Panel (RM6179), and their combined experience brings strength across core public law disciplines, from governance and infrastructure to real estate, construction, and commercial matters.
For Sharpe Pritchard, this builds on our deep history of advising central and local government bodies, and strengthens our ability to support public sector clients through a streamlined procurement route.
The Crown Commercial Service (CCS) supports the public sector to achieve maximum commercial value when procuring common goods and services.
In 2023/24, CCS helped the public sector to achieve commercial benefits worth £4.9 billion, helping deliver efficient and world-class public services.
The RM6360 Legal Panel for Government framework provides a robust and compliant route for central government departments and other public sector organisations to access high-quality legal advice from vetted suppliers.
Lot 1 – Core Legal Services covers a broad range of legal disciplines and runs for a four-year term, supporting government clients in achieving best value and consistent quality of legal support.
