## Summary

The procurement process involved H M Revenue & Customs as the buying organisation seeking legal advisory and representation services, specifically for the project titled "Legal advice on structure and governance of OEF". This tender was conducted under a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement, where the award was made for a total value of £85,000.
