## Summary

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has completed a procurement process to establish a legal panel arrangement, securing the services of external law firms to support its in-house legal team. This procurement, under the industry category of legal advisory and representation services (CPV code: 79110000), was executed through a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The process, which is now at the award stage, concluded with the appointment of MILLS & REEVE LLP as a supplier. Located in London, the contract commenced on 10th March 2025 and will span until 8th March 2027, with an option for a 12-month extension valued at an additional £250,000. The total awarded contract value amounts to £500,000 GBP. Key procurement activities were finalised by 27th February 2025, ensuring a structured and timely implementation of the legal framework.

This contract represents a substantial opportunity for legal service firms to expand their portfolio and collaborate with a significant public sector agency. Companies adept in providing comprehensive legal services and those currently part of the CCS Legal Services Panel framework are well-positioned to leverage this arrangement for business growth. The engagement allows participating firms to showcase their expertise on crucial public health matters, potentially enhancing their market presence and establishing a long-term relationship with the UKHSA.

## Notice

The initial contract is for 24 months with a 12 month extension option available for an additional value of PS250,000.00
