Panel Services. The Test and Trace programme has entered into a significant number of material commercial contracts, many of which are due for amendment, extension or replacement within the next few weeks. Each requires significant legal input. The T&T legal team requires highly skilled and flexible resource that can be scaled up and directed towards areas requiring support from time to time. The covid-19 response requires Test & Trace to establish a dedicated legal function. The Scope of Services that the Supplier is required to undertake on behalf of the Contracting Authority are as follows: 1) Establishment of a legal function within the Test & Trace programme 2) Delivering legal advice and support to each part of the programme, leveraging Government Legal Department and external counsel as required 3) Improved contractual and procurement outcomes 4) Improved management of legal risk 5) Improved management of privacy risk 6) Gap analysis report setting out Test & Trace requirement for legal resource vs current provision 7) Action plan to close gap 8) Implementation of action plan, including hiring of relevant resource, subject to agreed budget 9) Producing a job description for permanent legal team hires as we transition to ALB status DHSC requires the Supplier’s staff assigned to this contract should hold BPSS Security Clearance. The Supplier shall also adhere to DHSC ICT Policy. In the event of poor performance, if this is not resolved within the agreed timeframe with the DHSC, the contract may be terminated within 5 working days.

Panel Services. Service Description is below as follows. DHSC requires commercial legal adviser support with experience of high-profile corporate finance, restructuring and insolvency transactions, to work alongside financial advisers to contingency plan for the potential insolvency of a large provider of adult social care (Project Saturn). The contingency plan will involve contact with the provider (rather than a pure desktop exercise) to ensure HMG has a clear plan in place ahead of any insolvency of the provider. The Supplier’s team will need to work closely with lawyers at the Customer and Government (“HMG”) who will be responsible for State aid compliance in relation to any financial assistance to the Four Seasons Health Care Group (the “Group”). The Supplier will be expected to provide legal advice on all aspects of the Project’s work streams and such advice will be provided to, and relied on, by DHSC (the “Customer”), who, where necessary, may choose to share such advice with any other Crown Bodies and other advisers appointed to this mandate. The Supplier will be expected to work in an integrated team with the Customer’s policy team and with HMG officials, the Group and HMG’s and the Group’s legal and other advisers. This is likely to include attendance at meetings and telephone calls with these individuals as well as attendance at Project boards and steering group meetings. The Supplier will also be expected to work collaboratively with the Customer’s internal lawyers. Information Redacted in line with Section 40 of FOIA A.

Panel Services. 3.1 This section sets out the Panel Services that the Supplier is required to make available to Panel Customers as a condition of being awarded a Panel Agreement. Subject to paragraph 3.2 (Obligation to accept Orders) and paragraph 3.3 (Notification of inability to accept Orders), the Supplier shall accept all Orders from Panel Customers which fall within the scope of the Panel Services, provided that the relevant Panel Customer complies with the applicable requirements of the Panel Agreement in respect of such Order(s).

Panel Services. The covid-19 response requires Test & Trace to establish a dedicated legal function. The Customer’s (T&T) legal team requires highly skilled and flexible resource that can be scaled up and directed towards areas requiring support from time to time. Resource is therefore expected to be interim contracted resource. The covid-19 response requires Test & Trace to establish a dedicated legal function. The specialist nature of this role means that many of the skills required are not readily available elsewhere in the Department or within the Government Legal Department. Further, GLD is itself having to increasingly outsource its own legal work in support of the Covid-19 project because its resources are increasingly being redeployed towards EU Exit. Due to the significant pending workload (e.g. dozens of contracts in Test division requiring renewal in the next 2-3 months/ scale up/ increasing compliance and governance demands/ pending winter peak transmission) the Customer needs to rapidly establish an internal legal capability using a mix of resource provided by law firms (primarily from GLAS panel law firms). As T&T moves towards its anticipated longer term status as an ALB this contracted resource will be rotated off the programme and be replaced by permanent hires. Failure to secure the lawyers referred to in this contract will have the following impact: • The establishment of an internal Test and Trace legal function could not proceed. • No/less management of legal risk within the programme. • Less efficient procurement and less effective commercial contract negotiations • Insufficient resource to deliver requirements which could result in failure to renew/let contracts for critical services. • Additional strain on Government Legal Department and greater use of external law firms, at increased cost to DHSC. • Currently unable to service the programme with the current level of resource meaning critical legal decisions are being made and implemented without Test and Trace involvement. The scope of the Services provided by the Supplier will include, but not be limited to provision of: • Qualified Solicitors or Barristers qualified in a United Kingdom or other common law jurisdiction. • Experience of operating at a senior level in the public and/or private sector. • In-depth knowledge and experience of UK healthcare sector. • In-depth commercial and commercial contracting skills. • Knowledge of data protection and privacy law in a healthcare environment. • Lega...
