## Summary

This procurement process involves Middlesbrough Council contracting for NEPO513 Legal Services, specifically for employment law support. The procurement has reached the award stage, with Capsticks Solicitors being awarded the contract. Valued at £40,000, the contract covers the North East, United Kingdom, and is categorised under 'Legal advisory and representation services.'
