## Summary

The procurement process titled "Provision of Legal Support" was conducted by the Department of Health and Social Care, focused on providing legal services within the United Kingdom, including locations such as the Isle of Man, Guernsey, and Jersey. The contract was awarded on 23rd November 2020, with a total value of £89,900. The procurement was organised using a selective method, allowing suppliers to enter through a framework agreement. The tender period concluded on 20th November 2020, and the contract was in effect until 19th February 2021.

Businesses that specialise in legal services and have the capacity to engage with government contracts would be well-positioned to compete in similar procurement processes. The procurement method utilised—call-off from a framework agreement—suggests a streamlined engagement for suppliers that meet the necessary criteria, which may enable growth for those participating in future tenders.
