What happened

UK Research and Innovation awarded this contract to DOYLE CLAYTON SOLICITORS LIMITED worth £20,000 on 12 Oct 2026. The contract runs until 13 Oct 2027.

Description

***** THIS IS A CONTRACT DETAILS NOTICE, NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION *****

This procurement is being concluded without competition due to an absence of competition for technical reasons, only a particular supplier can supply the goods, services or works required.

Brief Description of Requirement

MI5 recently issued an alert in relation to national security and espionage warnings relating to UK organisations, and individuals, with links to China General Technology Research Institute

(CGTRI) specifically. This has triggered an incident in UKRI which relates to broader UKRI activity to ensure compliance, as well as concerns around individuals who may or may not have been

aware of any risks their activities were creating.

We require legal advice to cover activities at both the higher project level (which may lead to complex casework), as well as an individual case level.
