Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has recently completed a procurement process for legal services titled "C16664 Legal Services" to support its response to the Covid-19 pandemic. This procurement, which falls under the legal advisory services category, was initiated as a selective tendering procedure, drawing upon a framework agreement. The call-off for this contract took place on 17 September 2020, with the contract period starting the following day and concluding on 31 March 2021. The total value of the contract was £15,000, and the services were delivered at the DHSC's London office located at 39 Victoria Street, SW1H 0EU.

This contract presents opportunities primarily for law firms with expertise in public health and emergency response legal matters. Given that the contract has already been awarded to DLA Piper UK LLP, businesses seeking to expand their portfolios in the governmental sector, particularly in legal advisory services, should closely monitor similar tenders. Firms that can demonstrate relevant experience and are capable of providing responsive, quality legal services aligned with public sector needs will be well-positioned to compete in future procurement activities.
