Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has awarded a contract titled "DHSC: LSP Contingent Arrangement" for the provision of contingent arrangement for legal panel services. This contract, classified under the legal services industry (CPV code 79100000), has been awarded to MILLS & REEVE LLP. The tender process, which was carried out through a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement, is now in the award stage with the contract status marked as complete. The contract, valued at £75,000, is set to run from 18th June 2024 until 31st March 2025. The services will be delivered across various addresses within the United Kingdom, with the contract details officially published on 30th January 2025. Key contact at DHSC is Clare Cosgrove, located at 39 Victoria Street, London.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for large legal firms capable of providing comprehensive legal panel services. The substantial contract value of £75,000 indicates a lucrative opportunity for firms looking to expand their government contract portfolio in the legal services sector. While the procurement method favoured larger entities, the structured nature of framework agreements and selective procurement can ensure that firms with proven capabilities and previous framework experience can effectively compete and thrive. Businesses adept at handling government service requirements and adhering to contractual commitments would find this tender particularly suited to their growth strategies.
