Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process titled "Chief Legal Officer - Secondment Agreement" was initiated by the Department of Health and Social Care (T&T) to provide legal advice and support to the Test & Trace programme. The procurement, classified under legal services, was executed through a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was valued at £92,899.80 and was set to begin on 1st January 2021, concluding on 31st March 2021, with the tender period ending on the same date. All activities were based in London, United Kingdom, with the relevant postal code SW1H 0EU.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for law firms specialising in legal services, particularly those with experience in public sector contracts and knowledge of health and social care legislation. Businesses positioned to compete effectively would include larger legal service providers, as the procurement specifically highlighted that small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) were not deemed suitable. Engaging with such tenders can enable law firms to build their portfolios and expand their influence in the public health sector.
