This procurement, classified under legal advisory and representation services (CPV 79110000), is based in London, United Kingdom, with postal code E14 4PU. The contract commenced on 10th March 2025 and is set to run until 8th March 2027, with a total allocated budget of £500,000. The procurement was conducted through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, ensuring the agency could efficiently secure additional legal capacity when necessary. This tender presents significant opportunities for legal firms specialising in advisory and representation services. While currently awarded, opportunities for future bids may arise through framework agreements like the CCS Legal Services Panel. Large-scale legal firms capable of providing robust support to public sector entities can find growth and expansion opportunities in such collaborations, especially those adept in delivering tailored solutions to governmental agencies like UKHSA. Although SMEs and VCSEs were not specifically targeted in this procurement, large firms can leverage their comprehensive capabilities to support the dynamic needs of public sector clients. ## Notice UKHSA Legal wishes to appoint up to four legal services providers to provide additional support to the in-house legal team as and when required. It is intended to provide UKHSA with an effective and efficient means of securing additional legal capacity and expertise to support the UKHSA Legal team. The aim is to establish a UKHSA-specific panel of external law firms drawn from the firms currently on the CCS Legal Services Panel framework to provide additional support to UKHSA on a case-by-case basis. The initial contract is for 24 months with a 12 month extension option available for an additional value of PS250,000.00 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8556c4e0-c8e7-40e0-8ba6-11123f898211 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a framework agreement | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 May 2025 | | Submission deadline | 27 Feb 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 10 Mar 2025 | | Contract period | 10 Mar 2025 - 8 Mar 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £750,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UKHSA | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | East London | | Postcode | E14 4PU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI42 Tower Hamlets | | Local authority | Tower Hamlets | | Electoral ward | Canary Wharf | | Westminster constituency | Poplar and Limehouse | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | DAC BEACHCROFT | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79110000 - Legal advisory and representation services ## Release History - 23 May 2025 at 11:26 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8556c4e0-c8e7-40e0-8ba6-11123f898211 - 7 Apr 2025 at 14:41 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c5481f41-e84d-49cb-9f0f-45456a31f2a4 - 7 Apr 2025 at 13:37 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/764cf7cf-966b-4487-a452-1e853fdea491 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8556c4e0-c8e7-40e0-8ba6-11123f898211 23rd May 2025 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c5481f41-e84d-49cb-9f0f-45456a31f2a4 7th April 2025 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/764cf7cf-966b-4487-a452-1e853fdea491 7th April 2025 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/0dc8ff82-c4a0-4236-b7cf-6c5b3c01b396 beachcroft -Order-Form-Template-and-Call-Off-Schedules-v3.7-RM6179_Redacted - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/06fa9325-ad66-4b5d-9a29-d6f01aa7f19f beachcroft -Order-Form-Template-and-Call-Off-Schedules-v3.7-RM6179_Redacted - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/713a9bab-e316-43c0-8801-6cb2aa785bf7 beachcroft -Order-Form-Template-and-Call-Off-Schedules-v3.7-RM6179_Redacted ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
