The procurement falls within the services category, specifically legal services, and has reached the award stage. Notably, the contract was signed with Hogan Lovells International LLP, a large-scale legal firm based in London, on 1st May 2026, with the contract period extending until 31st December 2026. The procurement was completed under a "Below threshold - unknown" method, with no explicit threshold exceeded, and carries a gross value of £35,000.
