## Summary

The Devon County Council has awarded a contract for legal support services for the CDS Broadband Project to DWF LLP. The procurement process was completed with a total contract value of £400,000 GBP. The contract period is from July 2, 2023, to July 1, 2027. The tender period ended on June 29, 2023. This opportunity falls under the services category and is suitable for SMEs.

This tender for legal services related to infrastructure development in the South West UK region presents a growth opportunity for law firms or legal service providers specializing in public sector projects. Businesses offering legal advice and support for broadband and infrastructure projects can leverage this contract to expand their portfolio and establish relationships with public authorities like the Devon County Council.

## Notice

The appointed Provider will be required to advise the Connecting Devon and Somerset Programme rather than any individual authorities, although Somerset County Council is the Accountable Body for the CDS Programme. CDS connects some of the hardest to reach communities in England, where the commercial market will not provide the infrastructure without public subsidy. CDS awards public subsidised contracts to companies through competitive tender to build the infrastructure needed, such as fibre cables or wireless masts. CDS can only invest where suppliers have no declared and credible plans to invest their own resources in networks
