## Summary

The Department for Work and Pensions, based in Leeds, England, recently completed the procurement process for legal services to support the Synergy Programme. This selective procurement was conducted as a call-off from the CCS framework RM6179 - Legal Services Panel, Lot 1 for General Legal Advice Services, and has now reached the award stage. The awarded contract holds a value of £650,000 and spans from 26th June 2025 to 31st March 2026. The contracting process falls under the category of Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security, with a broad delivery scope covering the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, and beyond. The supplier for this contract is DLA Piper UK LLP, a large-scale legal firm located in London.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses within the legal services industry, particularly those capable of providing comprehensive legal advice on large-scale programmes. The use of a framework agreement suggests an advantageous position for established legal firms confident in handling complex and wide-ranging legal challenges. Although this specific opportunity was not suitable for SMEs or voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs), firms of a similar scale to the awarded supplier would benefit from monitoring similar calls under framework agreements, as these structures frequently offer consistent procurement opportunities in various sectors aligned with their expertise.
