Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) has completed a procurement process for "Legal Services Requirements Data Infrastructure Security and Resilience". This tender falls under the category of legal advisory services, specifically focusing on complex and niche legal advisory support. The procurement was conducted via a selective method, specifically calling off from a framework agreement, and the contract has been awarded as of 25th November 2024. The total contract value is £70,000, covering a period from 25th November 2024 to 24th May 2025. The primary location for service delivery is London, United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses that specialise in legal advisory services, particularly those with expertise in data infrastructure security and resilience. The successful bidder, Ashurst LLP, demonstrates the high standards sought in complexity and niche advisory services, suggesting that similarly large or specialised firms would be best suited for such opportunities in the future. Although this contract specifically excluded SMEs and VCSEs, it exemplifies a valuable prospect for large legal service providers seeking to engage in government contracts and enhance their portfolio within the public sector.
