Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work and Pensions has completed the procurement process for the contract titled "Legal Advice for new Service lines under new Workforce Solutions Contract." The contract, focusing on legal services within the public sector, is valued at £50,000 GBP. It will be performed in the United Kingdom over the period from 12th September 2025 to 11th September 2026. The procurement was conducted through a selective method, specifically as a call-off from a framework agreement, culminating in the award date on 15th September 2025. The contract was awarded to DLA Piper UK LLP, signifying the completion of the award stage in the procurement process.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses providing high-quality legal services, particularly those that can operate under framework agreements and offer competitive expertise for public sector resourcing. Given its selective procurement method, businesses that are small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and have the ability to directly align with specified service lines and provide direct award or further competition services are particularly well-suited. Organisations interested in expanding into the public sector or those looking to strengthen their legal advisory portfolios in the UK may find significant growth opportunities through such engagements.
