## Summary

The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has completed a public procurement process for Legal Services, specifically focused on data protection. The procurement, initiated as a tender, has a total contract value of £41,600 and was awarded to DLA Piper. The contract period commenced on 23 July 2020 and concluded on 30 October 2020. This procurement method was selective and involved a call-off from a framework agreement, with the key dates relevant to the award process concluding as of 15 March 2022.
