This procurement, classified under the CPV code for legal services, has a total value of £250,000 and was conducted via a selective procurement method, specifically through a call-off from a framework agreement.

Key milestones in the procurement process include the tender deadline of 30 May 2021, with the award date recorded on 24 June 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for legal services firms, particularly those with expertise in public sector contracts and EU law, to contribute to the UnITy and EU Exit programmes.
