Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) has recently completed the procurement process for overarching legal services concerning international data flows. This tender falls under the legal advisory services category with the CPV code 79111000 and includes additional classifications such as legal advisory and information services (CPV 79140000). The procurement took place through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract timeline spans from 6th November 2024 to 31st March 2025, addressing jurisdictions across British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. The award was finalised on 6th November 2024 with a contract value of £220,000, part of an overall budget of £560,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the legal sector, particularly those focusing on international data flows and advisory services. SMEs are encouraged to compete, although the awarded contract has been given to DLA Piper UK LLP, a large-scale entity. Businesses specialising in legal advisory services, with capabilities to operate across various international jurisdictions, would find this type of procurement beneficial for growth. The execution of such contracts can enhance credibility and open doors to further governmental and cross-border engagements.
