Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) seeking legal services titled "GLAS C27550 Legal Services." This contract, valued at £20,000, was established to provide legal advice to support the DHSC's response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The procurement method used was selective, based on a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract is set within England, with specified delivery addresses in the Sw1H 0EU postal code area. The contract period commenced on 25th August 2020 and concluded on 31st March 2021.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in legal services, particularly those with experience in providing support during public health crises. Given the specific requirements of the DHSC, law firms with a proven track record in governmental contracts and those able to demonstrate their capacity to respond quickly to the unique challenges posed by the pandemic would be well-equipped to compete. Although smaller businesses and voluntary sector organisations are not identified as suitable for this particular contract, larger legal firms would likely find this an advantageous opportunity for growth in public sector engagements.
