## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has awarded a contract titled "Provision of External Legal Services for OPC South Atlantic Islands - FY24/25". This procurement, classified under "Legal advisory services" (CPV: 79111000), will be serviced by MILLS & REEVE LLP. This selective procurement involved a call-off from a framework agreement, with the overall contract valued at £70,000. The contract period starts on 30th August 2024 and ends on 31st March 2025. The services will be delivered on an ad-hoc basis, primarily benefiting the OPC South Atlantic Islands programme, with operations centred in Glasgow, Scotland.
