## Summary

Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured specialist employment legal services for support and representation in an employee tribunal claim. The work falls within legal services and is delivered for the Trust in Bradford, at its Duckworth Lane site. The requirement concerns employment law advice and advocacy connected with an individual employee tribunal matter, rather than general legal services or a broad portfolio of disputes. This opportunity is therefore relevant to solicitors’ firms and legal practices with an employment law specialism, particularly those able to advise an NHS employer and represent it in tribunal proceedings. The buying organisation is Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Capsticks Solicitors LLP on 14 August 2026. The awarded value is £50,000, with a contract period from 17 August 2026 to 16 August 2027. It was a selective procurement using a call-off from a framework agreement, with the submission deadline on 16 August 2026 at 12:00. The Trust identified the requirement as specialist employment law support and representation for an employee tribunal claim. The award was active, and the procurement was classified as a services contract for legal services. The opportunity was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award indicates demand from Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for specialist employment law support in an NHS employment tribunal context. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable expertise in employment law, experience advising employers through tribunal claims, and the ability to provide effective legal representation as well as strategic advice. Familiarity with the requirements and operating environment of NHS organisations would be commercially relevant. Suppliers should also be able to access and operate through the relevant framework route, since this requirement was awarded as a framework call-off rather than through an open standalone competition. The selected supplier was a large solicitors’ practice, indicating that the buyer valued established capacity alongside specialist legal capability.
