## Summary

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has completed the procurement process for establishing legal panel arrangements through a call-off from a framework agreement. This selective procurement sought to appoint up to four legal services providers to support the in-house legal team as required, primarily focusing on legal advisory and representation services. The awarded contract now involves Dentons UK and Middle East LLP, with a contract period starting on 18 March 2025 and ending on 8 March 2027. The procurement opportunity was classified under the CPV code 79110000 and related to services delivered primarily in London, UK. The procurement stage reached the award phase, and the announcement was published on 23 May 2025.

This procurement creates significant business opportunities for large-scale legal firms that are part of the CCS Legal Services Panel framework, providing a chance to be part of a dedicated panel offering services to UKHSA. As this tender was not aimed at SMEs or VCSEs, it is particularly suited for well-established law firms with the capacity and expertise to offer external legal support. Firms not yet on such panels may consider strengthening their capabilities and credentials to be included in similar future tender processes, paving the way for business growth and increased engagements in the public sector.

## 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
