## Summary

The procurement process undertaken by NHS England involved awarding a contract for "Voluntary Redundancy Legal Advice Allowance - DWF" to support colleagues opting for voluntary redundancy. The process falls under the 'Legal services' industry category, specifically within the framework of CPV classification 79100000. The buyer, NHS England, operating from Leeds, England, executed a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement. This procurement was in the 'Award' stage, with the contract active from 16 February 2026 to 13 August 2026. NHS England's Commercial Team coordinates this process, with an original contract value of £178,000, awarded to DWF LLP, a large-scale enterprise based in Manchester.

This tender represents opportunities for businesses specialising in legal services, particularly those adept at handling redundancy advice. As the procurement was completed via a selective method from a framework agreement, larger entities with existing frameworks may have competitive advantages. Although not tailored for SMEs or VCSEs, the contract highlights potential growth areas for firms capable of delivering high-value legal services quickly and efficiently to a significant public sector client like NHS England. The confirmed support roles and active contract status emphasize the importance of maintaining strong ties to large-scale frameworks and contracts.
