UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Worсestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust has completed the procurement process for HR Legal Services. This contract, related to legal services advice around cases, was procured directly without competition as it fell below the threshold. The procurement activity is categorised under services, specifically in the CPV classification of legal services. Located in Worcester, United Kingdom, the procurement was finalised on 24th June 2025, with Capsticks LLP, a large-scale supplier based in Birmingham, taking on the contract. The agreement commenced on 1st April 2025 and extends until 31st March 2026. The project operates under the legal framework of UKPGA 2023/54, with a gross contract value of £134,000.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for firms experienced in offering HR legal advisory services, particularly those adept in servicing healthcare institutions. Businesses specialising in niche legal advisory services, even if smaller in scale, might consider similar opportunities to position themselves for future procurements. Despite the direct award in this instance, it indicates the importance of maintaining visibility and relationships with buying authorities like NHS Trusts for future contracts. The HR Legal Services sector offers consistent opportunities within public health and central government entities across the UK.
