Pagabo Developer-Led Lot 2 Development Legal Providers: 10 bids, 10 appointed
10 bids were received for Lot 2 Development Legal Providers on the Pagabo National Framework for Developer-Led Schemes and 10 suppliers were appointed, an appointment rate of 100.0 per cent. Every bidder was appointed. The lot carries an advertised value of £47.6m, 0.2 per cent of the framework.
Who this lot was for
Law firms and legal providers that act on development agreements, SPV structures, land and funding documentation.
What the numbers say
Ten bids and ten appointments. Every firm that bid to Lot 2 was appointed, which says the barrier was the decision to bid, not the evaluation. The lot carries the same advertised value as Lots 1 and 7, so it is a small prize with almost no competition.
The notice records 2 SME bids at final stage out of 10 (20 per cent). It does not give appointments by size of firm, so it cannot show whether SMEs did better or worse than larger bidders.
