Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health and Social Care procured legal services to support its Sinogo claim. The requirement falls within the legal services category and covers work for DHSC in London, at or associated with its Victoria Street location, with delivery in the United Kingdom. This is a public-sector legal instruction rather than a goods supply or construction project. The buyer is the Department of Health and Social Care, and the selected provider is a private legal practice. The scope is described as legal services for DHSC, with the procurement title identifying Sinogo claim legal support as the particular purpose.

This procurement has been awarded. DHSC used a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with submissions due by 31 March 2026 at 12:00. DAC Beachcroft LLP was awarded the contract on 21 July 2026 for £100,000. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 1 August 2026. The tender had an estimated value of £100,000. The award is active and the tender is complete. The available procurement information identifies the framework call-off route and the legal services requirement; it does not set out a separate scoring split or detailed evaluation formula. DAC Beachcroft LLP is the sole named award supplier.

For competing legal practices, this award provides evidence of DHSC demand for focused legal support connected with a government claim. A credible future competitor would need to be able to deliver public-sector legal advice and representation at the required scale, understand the governance and confidentiality demands of working for a central government department, and mobilise a suitable team for a defined claim-related instruction. Access to the relevant framework route would be important, since this requirement was placed as a framework call-off rather than through an open tender. The buyer’s stated suitability assessment indicates that the opportunity was not aimed at SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, pointing towards established specialist practices with the necessary framework standing and capacity.
