Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work and Pensions has awarded a contract titled "Litigation Support for the Health Transformation Programme (HTP)" under the industry category of Business services, specifically within law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security. This was facilitated through a selective procurement method, involving a call-off from the CCS framework RM6179 Legal Services Panel, Lot 1. The legal services contract, valued at £370,000 GBP, was awarded to Mills & Reeve LLP on 14th July 2025. The contract period spans from 16th July 2025 to 15th July 2027, covering services to be delivered across multiple regions, including the British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for large-scale legal service providers, as the awarded contract is tailored to law firms capable of delivering general legal advice and litigation support. The focus on such a wide geographical service area means that firms with a broad reach and robust logistical capacities are better positioned to compete for future opportunities. While SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises might find this particular contract challenging, involvement in similar tenders could provide pivotal insights into larger-scale collaborations and framework applications within the public sector.
