## Summary

The Cabinet Office is seeking to enhance its GOV.UK Verify Programme through the procurement of external legal advice, with a total contract value of £350,000. This procurement, classified under legal advisory services (CPV code: 79111000), was initiated via a selective tender process and is now complete. The contract commenced on 7 January 2019 and will conclude on 6 July 2020. Interested parties should note that the tender period ended on 19 December 2018, and this procurement was executed for locations including the United Kingdom and other jurisdictions such as European regions and British Overseas Territories.

This tender represents an excellent opportunity for law firms, particularly those with expertise in public sector consultancy or governmental legal matters, to engage in significant contracts with governmental entities. As the Cabinet Office is a prominent authority, successful bidders are likely to gain valuable experience and establish a crucial relationship with a key client in the public sector. Businesses with a strong background in legal advice and a proven track record in delivering services to governmental bodies would be well-suited to pursue similar future opportunities.
