Anthony Collins appointed to GCA’s new Legal Services Framework

Anthony Collins has been named as a supplier on three different areas of Government Commercial Agency’s (GCA) Legal Panel for Public Sector (RM6374), following the GCA’s recent procurement process.

With a strong reputation for advising local authorities, registered social housing providers and charities on complex legal and regulatory matters, the appointment will give public-sector organisations a more efficient route to access Anthony Collins’ specialist legal advice, without the time and cost associated with running a full tender programme.

The social purpose law firm has been named as a supplier across three lots including full legal service provision for local government and local communities (including the housing and charity sectors), litigation and disputes, together with projects and complex advice, which includes Public Private Partnerships (PPP) and Private Finance Initiatives (PFI). Eligible organisations will be able to access pre-approved legal services from the firm, supporting the efficient delivery of public services and major projects.

The framework will run until August 2029 at a minimum, with the potential to be extended to 2031.

Matthew Gregson, Partner and head of the local government team said: “Public sector organisations are being asked to deliver more, often against significant financial, operational and regulatory pressures. Having access to specialist legal advice at the right time can make a real difference to the pace, confidence and success of important decisions and projects.

“This framework will give eligible organisations a more straightforward route to access our specialist expertise.

“We look forward to working alongside organisations that can access the GCA framework, helping support better outcomes for the communities they serve.”
