This contract was initiated to support DHSC's response to the Covid-19 pandemic and classified under the industry category of legal advisory services (CPV code: 79111000). The procurement method employed was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement.

This tender presents an opportunity for legal firms, particularly those with experience in public health or crisis response, to engage in similar future contracts, especially as the public sector continues to focus on legal support in navigating ongoing health challenges. Smaller legal practices with specialised knowledge in this field may find it advantageous to position themselves for upcoming tenders, as well as larger firms capable of providing comprehensive support services. The evolving nature of public health policies may lead to further procurement activities, opening doors for businesses willing to adapt and respond to new requirements.
