## Summary

Devon County Council has completed a procurement process titled "CP1628-18 The Provision of Legal Advice in Connection with the Appointment of an Operator to Manage the Proposed ERDF & LEP Funded North Devon Enterprise Centre." This contract, valued at £25,000, involves legal services pertaining to the management of a proposed new Enterprise Centre located in Roundswell, North Devon.
