The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has completed the procurement process for "PFI Variations Legal Advice" with the awarding of the contract to Bevan Brittan LLP. This contract falls under the industry category of legal services and is valued at £20,000. It involved a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement.
