Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health and Social Care (T&T) recently completed a procurement process for "GLD acquired External Legal Advisory Services", classified under general management consultancy services. This selective tender, initiated with a call-off from a framework agreement, had an award date of 12th August 2021 and a contract period that commenced on 1st March 2021, ending on 30th September 2021. The total contract value was valued at £1,000,000 and was targeted at a location in London, postcode SW1H 0EU.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for firms specialising in legal advisory services, particularly those able to offer expertise that is not readily available through the Test & Trace Legal or the GLD team.

The involvement of established suppliers like Mills & Reeve LLP indicates a competitive landscape that values quality and tailored skill sets.
