## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has recently completed a tender for the supply of legal services related to Project Argonaut, valued at £550,000. This contract, awarded on January 18, 2021, follows a selective procurement method as a call-off under the CCS Framework RM3786. The service will be provided until October 31, 2023. The project is categorised under legal advisory services and is located in Warminster, South West England. The procurement concluded on December 11, 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for law firms, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), capable of offering specialised legal advisory services.
