Summary of the contracting process

The Government Legal Department, based in London, has finalised a procurement process titled "Expert Fee" under the legal services category. This process, identified by the tender ID GLD062 2025, utilised a direct procurement method specifically designed for single tender actions below the financial threshold. The procurement aimed to secure legal representation services, signified by the CPV classification code 79112000. This award, completed as of 25th September 2025, involves services that will be delivered to Derby, with the supplier being the Bainbridge Hand Clinic. The contract commenced on 25th September 2023 and is set to conclude on 25th June 2025. The original tender period ended on 18th September 2023.
