## Summary

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has completed the procurement process for the provision of legal services and advice to support its response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The contract, titled "C16695 Legal Services," was awarded to DLA Piper UK LLP for a total value of £30,000.
