## Summary

The UK Health Security Agency, acting through the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, procured patent attorney services. The requirement is business-critical support for the agency’s patent-related work, delivered for its operation in London. The service falls within legal services and is intended to provide specialist patent attorney advice rather than general legal support. The buyer is based at 10 South Colonnade, London, E14 4PU. This is a single service requirement awarded under the light touch regime. It is relevant to patent attorney practices and specialist intellectual property firms able to support a UK public health organisation with continuing, business-critical patent matters.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to MATHYS and SQUIRE LLP. The award is active and the contract is active. The contract value is £300,000. It was signed on 21 January 2025. The buyer used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, with the procurement treated as outside the scope of the relevant directive. The award was made under the light touch regime threshold and evaluated on price. The buyer states that the contract was extended to avoid a break in this business-critical service after an unsuccessful re-procurement process. A further invitation to tender is expected in due course, with a new contract expected before the next financial year.

This award demonstrates established demand from the UK Health Security Agency for ongoing patent attorney support at a substantial service scale. A competitor preparing for a future requirement would need demonstrable capability in patent attorney work and the operational capacity to maintain continuity for a business-critical public-sector client. Relevant firms should be able to provide specialist intellectual property advice reliably, work with a national health-security body, and manage an ongoing service rather than a one-off instruction. The winning supplier is recorded as an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist practice rather than only by a large multidisciplinary legal firm. Price competitiveness was central to the recorded evaluation.
