Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has completed an award for the procurement process titled "DHSC: Legal Advice on Draft Medtech Standard Value Based Procurement Guidance". This tender falls under the legal services industry category, with CPV classification code 79100000. The procurement process was conducted in the United Kingdom, with the main location identified as London, SW1H 0EU. The process utilised a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement. Key dates include the tender period ending on 13th August 2025, and the contract running from 14th August 2025 to 31st March 2026. The value of the award is £30,000, awarded to the supplier MILLS & REEVE LLP, a large legal firm.

This tender offers significant opportunities for legal firms, particularly those specialising in healthcare and procurement law, to engage with government contracts. As the DHSC seeks legal advice on medtech procurement standards, it presents an excellent opportunity for businesses adept at providing specialised legal services to government bodies. While the procurement was conducted by calling off from an existing framework, it emphasises the importance of being included in such frameworks to access similar opportunities. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the legal sector, specialising in public sector contracts, could benefit from aligning themselves with such frameworks, enhancing their ability to contribute to projects of this scope.
