## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has completed the procurement process for the provision of external legal services for the OPC Cyprus SFM programme for the fiscal year 2024/25. This contract, classified under the 'Legal advisory services' industry category, involves ad-hoc delivery of services within Scotland, United Kingdom. The procurement was conducted using a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made to MILLS & REEVE LLP on 13 August 2024, with a contract period beginning on 30 August 2024 and ending on 31 March 2025. The contract's value is £50,000 GBP.

This tender represents a considerable business growth opportunity for firms specialising in legal services, especially those with the capacity to provide ad-hoc external legal assistance and who are already part of the relevant framework agreement. Large-scale legal firms, similar to MILLS & REEVE LLP, are particularly well-suited to deliver the required services due to the contract's specific demands and high-value nature. Engaging in such contracts helps firms increase their portfolio in high-profile sectors such as defence, potentially leading to more significant future opportunities.
