Summary
As per the Prior Information Notice (PIN) published in March 2026, the Office of Government Procurement (OGP) intends to run a competitive procurement process for the provision of Legal Services in 2026. As part of the procurement process, the OGP is issuing this Preliminary Market Consultation (PMC) document and invites responses from Legal Practitioners* and Economic Operators in the legal services market.
This is a market sounding exercise to obtain market information on the provision of legal services to assist in the development and structuring of the upcoming Request for Tenders. This is also an opportunity for market players to provide valuable information to the OGP in respect of any issues or challenges relevant to this market and to submit any suggestions which would enhance the provision of legal services to Public Sector Bodies (PSBs) in Ireland.
Central Government Departments are excluded from the client base except where any specific exceptions may apply and will be identified in the tender documents. e.
“a person who is a practising solicitor or a practising barrister and a reference to a solicitor includes a reference to a firm of solicitors”. It is not a call for competition.
