What changed
Orbit Group Limited has awarded a contract valued at £185,422 (including VAT) to LawVu Limited for an SRA-compliant legal case management system. This award follows a direct award procedure after assessing multiple providers, with LawVu's solution being specifically tailored for in-house legal teams. The contract is set to run from March 11, 2026, to February 23, 2029, with an option for extension.
The notice was published on March 11, 2026, due to a missed deadline for issuing the required transparency notice, which was intended to align with the contract start date of February 24, 2026. While this is a procurement award notice and not directly imposing new obligations on external entities, it signifies a significant investment in legal operations technology by Orbit Group, potentially indicating a trend in the sector.
