About

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs awarded a contract to DLA Piper UK LLP for legal support to assist with the statutory appointment of an industry-led Producer Responsibility Organisation (PRO) under the pEPR scheme.

The work involved four phases: preparing proposed conditions of appointment, preparing the appointment process, running the process and selecting candidate PROs, and confirming conditions and appointing the PRO.

Legal support was used for designing and drafting application documentation and assessing applications, given the need for a clear, transparent, and rigorous process.

The contract ran for eight months from August 2025 to March 2026, with a value of £120,000.
