The Department of Health and Social Care (T&T) is seeking external legal advisory services, announced under a selective procurement method via a framework agreement. This initiative, classified under general management consultancy services (CPV 79411000), has a total contract value of £189,000, with key project dates indicating the contract period will last from 1st March 2021 to 30th September 2021. The tender process has now concluded, and the contract has been awarded to DLA Piper Limited based in London, UK. The procurement was completed on 17th September 2021.

Engaging in public sector contracts enhances market presence and fosters relationships with government entities, which can lead to further business growth.
