The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has awarded a contract for 'Core Infrastructure - Legal Support' to DLA Piper UK LLP. The contract is valued at 850,000 GBP and falls under the classification of legal advisory services. The procurement method used was selective, with a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period ended on May 31, 2023, and the contract is set to run from June 1, 2023, to May 31, 2027.

This procurement opportunity presents potential for legal firms specialising in advisory services to compete for providing core infrastructure legal support to DEFRA. The contract duration offers a stable revenue stream, and businesses with experience in legal services within the public sector are well-suited to engage.
