## Summary

NHS Digital has completed a public procurement process for the provision of Legal Advisory Services, which is classified under the CPV code 79111000. This procurement was executed using a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was signed on 20 December 2021, with a contract value of £713,500. The services are intended to support various programmes and internal matters, such as employment law and tribunal support. The delivery address for these services is located in Leeds, United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in legal advisory and information services, particularly those that can provide tailored support related to employment law. Firms with expertise in navigating legal frameworks and those that are familiar with serving public sector clients may find this a suitable avenue for growth. The contracting authority, NHS Digital, has demonstrated a preference for established firms, which may favour large legal service providers capable of meeting the specified requirements efficiently.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

This requirement is for the provision of legal services associated with the engagement of external legal services to provide legal support for all programmes and internal matters such as employment law support, and employment tribunal support.

### Procurement Information

CCS Framework RM3786 expressly allows NHSD to directly award legal services contracts to such of the panel firms which NHSD deem best capable to provide services. As such, we can implement this direct award through CCNs under existing contracts with WBD and in accordance with PCR Regulation 72.1(a). Extending the contracts under the existing CCS framework, has additional value for money benefits for the NHS as it allows NHSD to continue to call on WBD at lower rates since the rates on the new Legal Services Panel RM6179 have increased between 3-11%.
