## Summary

The procurement process is initiated by the Department of Health and Social Care, focusing on providing Litigation Legal Services. This contract falls within the services industry category and is classified under business services such as law and consulting, specifically identified by the CPV code 79000000. The contract award, valued at £179,740, is currently active and runs from 6th September 2021 to 28th February 2022, with the performance of deliverables to be executed within the UK. The tender is in the award stage, following active negotiation and tender processes, and is intended to provide highly flexible resources that Test & Trace Legal or the Government Legal Department cannot adequately supply.

This tender presents excellent opportunities for legal firms, especially those with significant experience in managing complex litigation, to grow their business. Firms that can deliver specialised legal services required for public health matters, particularly those which can adapt quickly to increasing demands for additional legal support, are well-suited to compete. The successful supplier, DLA Piper UK LLP, exemplifies the kind of large legal entity that meets the criteria, but there remains room for other capable firms to bid for similar contracts in future procurements.
