    Brief

    The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) is seeking legal services to provide pre-action letter advice for the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). This opportunity involves delivering expert legal guidance on pre-action correspondence, which is typically issued before commencing formal legal proceedings. Suppliers should have experience in healthcare law, administrative law, or dispute resolution. The legal services may include reviewing correspondence, advising on legal claims, assessing liability exposure, and preparing responses to pre-action protocols. This is an ideal opportunity for law firms or legal consultancies with expertise in public sector and healthcare-related legal matters.
