Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has awarded a contract for "Legal Services for Connect to Work Grant Programme and Supplementary Work Review" under the CCS framework RM6179 Legal Services Panel, Lot 1. The procurement process falls under the business services sector, specifically legal services, and operates in various regions including British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. The procurement method was selective as it was a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £35,000, began on 10 April 2025 and will run until 9 April 2026. The tender process has been completed, and the award was published on 15 April 2025.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in legal advisory services, especially those capable of handling large-scale public sector projects. Despite being awarded to DLA Piper UK LLP, this tender is indicative of the kind of high-value government contracts that are available to major legal services providers. Companies with experience in offering comprehensive legal solutions across multiple jurisdictions would be particularly well-suited to compete in similar future opportunities administrated by DWP or other public sector bodies.
