## Summary

The Department for Transport, located in Liverpool, has completed a procurement process titled "The Provision of Legal Services for DfT Thameslink Programme". This contract, classified under legal services (CPV code 79100000), involved a direct award to DLA Piper UK LLP for a total value of £110,000. The contract period spanned from 1st July 2019 to 30th June 2020, following a tender period that ended on 28th June 2019.
