Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured legal support for its Human Resources function, focused on employee relations matters. The requirement covers legal services, including advice and support connected with employment and workforce issues. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s site on Duckworth Lane in Bradford, West Yorkshire. The procurement was for the Trust as buyer, with the work classified under CPV 79100000, legal services. The selected provider is DAC Beachcroft LLP, a large legal practice. This opportunity is therefore relevant to law firms with an employment and employee-relations practice able to support an NHS organisation and advise its HR function on workforce matters in a regulated healthcare environment.

This procurement has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to DAC Beachcroft LLP on 1 April 2026 for £427,880.43 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 30 September 2026. The tender submission deadline was 30 March 2026 at 12:00. The procurement is complete and the award is active. The requirement was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises. It was evaluated through the framework call-off route; the published process information does not set out separate award criteria. The award covers one requirement rather than separately identified lots or multiple awarded suppliers.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible competitors would need a strong employment law practice with demonstrable expertise in employee relations and the capacity to provide responsive legal support to an NHS trust. Useful capability would include advising HR teams on complex workforce matters, handling sensitive employment issues, interpreting employment law and supporting robust case management. Experience of public-sector or healthcare employers would help a firm understand NHS governance, workforce pressures and the need for careful, defensible advice. The route used here also shows that the buyer sources this service through a framework call-off, so firms seeking comparable work would need access to a suitable framework and the scale, specialist team and service resilience expected of an established legal provider.
