Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "BTH25-145 Paralegal Services" has been successfully completed by the Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. This tender pertains to the legal services industry category, seeking temporary paralegal support for the Quality Governance Team. The procurement was carried out using a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement. Weightmans LLP, a large-scale supplier, was awarded the contract on 30th June 2025. The contract was active from 1st July 2025 and concluded on 30th September 2025, with an overall value of £108,000. The services included in the contract covered multiple regions, including parts of the United Kingdom and internationally. It is important to note that this procurement allowed participation from organisations other than SMEs and VCSEs, aligning with the procurement requirement.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for large-scale firms in the legal services sector, particularly those capable of providing quality paralegal staff on a temporary basis. Given the nature of the service required and the selective procurement method employed, businesses with established frameworks or those experienced in fulfilling NHS-related legal service contracts would have been well-suited to pursue this opportunity. Engaging in such contracts not only aids in business expansion through government partnerships but also strengthens a firm’s portfolio in public sector service delivery.
