Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has completed the procurement process for the provision of legal services, titled "DHSC C25868 Legal Services", aimed at supporting its response to the Covid-19 pandemic. This project falls within the legal services industry category and was initiated as a selective tender through a framework agreement. The tender period ended on 23 February 2021, while the contract commenced on 24 February 2021 and concluded on 31 March 2021. The total contract value was £20,000, with services delivered at the DHSC's headquarters in Leeds, UK.

This legal services tender presents a significant opportunity for law firms specialising in pandemic-related legal issues to strengthen their portfolios and expand their client base within public health domains. Larger firms, such as DLA Piper UK LLP, typically compete in such tenders, but smaller firms with specific expertise in legal compliance related to health emergencies may also find opportunities for collaboration or subcontracting. Businesses looking to enhance their capabilities in government contracts and public health law should consider similar future tenders that emerge within this sector.
