Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the contract titled "DHSC: IP Branding Advice 2025" has been carried out by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), located at 39 Victoria Street, London, SW1H 0EU, United Kingdom. The tender aims to acquire legal services in the area of intellectual property branding advice, with the supplier being DAC Beachcroft LLP. The procurement method used was a direct, single tender action, which is suitable for purchasing services below a certain threshold. The total contract value is £30,000, and the contract period spans from 16th July 2025 to 31st March 2026. This process has reached the award stage, with key events and information published on 18th September 2025 and 13th October 2025.

This tender presents opportunities for entities involved in providing specialised legal services, particularly those experienced in intellectual property and branding. While the contract specifically favours larger-scale providers, given its direct award to DAC Beachcroft LLP, there remains potential for smaller legal advisory firms to gain insights into the requirements of the Department of Health and Social Care. Businesses focusing on expanding their portfolio with reputable public organisations in the UK might find such information invaluable for strategic positioning and future competitive tendering processes.
