## Summary

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has awarded a contract for 'Core Infrastructure - Legal Support' to DLA Piper UK LLP. The contract is valued at 850,000 GBP and falls under the classification of legal advisory services. The procurement method used was selective, with a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period ended on May 31, 2023, and the contract is set to run from June 1, 2023, to May 31, 2027.
