## Summary

Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust commissioned legal services to assist with an employee tribunal. The requirement falls within the legal services category, covering professional legal advice and representation associated with the tribunal matter. Delivery is connected with the Trust in Bradford, West Yorkshire, at the Trust’s Duckworth Lane site, postcode BD9 6RJ, and within the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The requirement is a focused legal services engagement rather than a general legal support contract, so it is most relevant to firms with employment law expertise and experience advising organisations involved in employee tribunal proceedings. The selected provider was Capsticks Solicitors LLP, a large legal practice.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust used a selective procedure to make a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 19 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Capsticks Solicitors LLP on 28 August 2026 for £17,500 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 20 July 2026 to 19 May 2027. The award is active and the tender is complete. This was a single requirement for legal services supporting an employee tribunal. The recorded procurement value and awarded value are both £17,500. The opportunity was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award shows that the Trust uses a framework call-off to obtain specialist legal support for employee tribunal matters. Firms seeking to compete when a similar requirement returns would need credible employment law capability, including the ability to advise an NHS organisation on tribunal proceedings and to provide focused support for an individual employee dispute. Experience of public sector clients, NHS governance and the procedural demands of employment tribunals would strengthen a supplier’s position. Because the route was a framework call-off and the requirement was recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, relevant suppliers would need access to the appropriate framework and the organisational capacity expected of an established legal practice. The buyer’s requirement is specific, so general legal services experience alone would be less directly relevant.
