The Ministry of Defence has awarded a contract for "Legal Services - Security Policy Operations," under the CPV classification 79111000, indicating legal advisory services. The procurement method was selective, specifically a call-off from Framework RM6179 Legal Services. Located in London, United Kingdom, the contract's timeline includes a tender end date of 7th August 2024, a contract start date of 8th August 2024, and an end date of 30th September 2024. The contract, valued at £50,000 GBP, is documented as complete and awarded to BURGES SALMON LLP, a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in Bristol.
