## Summary

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has completed the procurement process for legal services under the title "C27553 Legal Services". This contract, valued at £25,000, was initiated to provide legal advice specifically related to the government’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The contract was awarded through a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement, with a contract period running from 25 August 2020 to 31 March 2021. The tender was officially published on 31 March 2021, with the procurement taking place in England, specifically at the DHSC's headquarters located in Leeds.

This completed tender presents opportunities for law firms specialising in public sector legal services, particularly those with experience in health and public health law related to emergency responses.

Engaging with government contracting processes can help these businesses expand their client base and bolster their experience in public procurement.
