Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has completed a procurement process for the provision of legal services under the title "C15691 Legal Services."

The tender period culminated on 16th September 2020, with the contract performance running from 17th September 2020 until 31st March 2021.
