## Summary

The procurement process for "Legal Services" by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) is overseen by NHS Shared Business Services Ltd. This tender falls within the legal services industry category and is located in the United Kingdom. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, and the awards were published on 31 March 2021. The contract period is set to commence on 15 April 2021, lasting for four years with an optional extension of one additional year. The tender process included three distinct lots: Corporate advice, Regulatory advice, and Fitness to Practice case-specific advice.
