This procurement, classified under legal advisory and representation services (CPV 79110000), is based in London, United Kingdom, with postal code E14 4PU. The contract commenced on 10th March 2025 and is set to run until 8th March 2027, with a total allocated budget of £500,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for legal firms specialising in advisory and representation services. While currently awarded, opportunities for future bids may arise through framework agreements like the CCS Legal Services Panel. Large-scale legal firms capable of providing robust support to public sector entities can find growth and expansion opportunities in such collaborations, especially those adept in delivering tailored solutions to governmental agencies like UKHSA.
