## Summary

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) has finalised the contract for the "Provision of Compute Legal Services," focusing on legal services related to hyperscale specialisms. This procurement process, categorised under legal services (CPV code: 79100000), was conducted through a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement. The buying organisation is based in London, England, with completed tender period ending on 4th June 2026, and the contract period spans from 8th June 2026 to 31st December 2026. The awarded value of the contract is £443,960, and the completion has been carried out by the large-scale supplier, DLA Piper UK LLP.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in hyperscale legal services to strengthen their portfolio through engagement with governmental bodies such as the DSIT. Although this specific contract was not suitable for SMEs or VCSEs due to its scale and complexity, large legal firms with expertise in hyperscales can leverage this as a growth avenue. The selective procurement method ensures that only pre-qualified suppliers from the framework agreement participate, enhancing competitiveness among well-established legal entities. Consequently, businesses in the legal sector seeking significant contracts in hyperscale specialisation could find this procurement potentially beneficial for expansion and reputation enhancement.
