## Summary

The Department of Health and Social Care in the United Kingdom has completed a tender process for the provision of legal support related to Covid-19. The contract, valued at £252,000, falls under the legal services industry category (CPV code: 79100000). The award was made on 3rd September 2020, with the contract effective from this date until 31st March 2021. This procurement was executed through a direct award method, and the tender period ended on 2nd September 2020.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for legal service providers, particularly those with experience in public health law and Covid-19 related matters. Businesses capable of offering flexible legal resources that can be scaled according to the needs of governmental projects would be well-suited to compete in similar tenders. Companies with the capacity to supply interim resources or seconded staff from established law firms may find advantageous positions in upcoming contracts aligned with the government's ongoing legal requirements.

## Notice

The T&T legal team requires highly skilled and flexible resource that can be scaled up and directed towards areas requiring support from time to time. Resource is therefore expected to either be interim contracted resource or to be provided by GLAS panel law firms making staff available by way of secondment.
