## Summary

The procurement process involves the Department for Culture Media & Sport, which is seeking legal services under the title "Events Research Programme Legal Support." This tender falls under the legal services industry category and is located in London (postal code SW1A 2BQ). The tender was awarded on 26 May 2021, with contract commencement on 4 June 2021, and is set to conclude on 27 November 2021. The procurement method used was selective, through a call-off from a framework agreement, with a total contract value of £100,000.

This tender presents an opportunity for legal firms, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to engage in a government-supported initiative aimed at informing policy for events and venues in England. Companies with expertise in data protection and legal advisory services would be particularly well-suited to compete in this process, thereby potentially expanding their business by partnering with a significant government department in a high-profile context.

## Notice

ERP is a joint research programme delivered through DCMS, DHSC and BEIS. The Events Research Programme (ERP) was announced in the roadmap in February to inform and shape Government policy to bring about the phased return of fuller audiences to venues and events in England. DCMS requires specialist legal support to advise on data protection requirements in support of the ERP.
