## Summary

Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust’s Human Resources team procured external legal services to handle a range of complex employee-relations matters. The work is for the Trust in Bradford. This is a specialist legal-support requirement focused on employment and staff relations, rather than general legal services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Hempsons LLP. The award was made on 20 July 2026, for £79,276. The contract period runs from 1 June to 30 November 2026. The Trust used a selective procedure to call off the requirement from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 31 May 2026. The recorded award identifies Hempsons as the selected supplier; no separate evaluation basis is stated in the procurement details.

The award demonstrates demand at Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for external legal advice on complex employee-relations matters. A credible future competitor would need specialist employment-law capability and the capacity to support an NHS human resources team with varied, potentially complex cases. Hempsons, recorded as an SME, secured this work, showing that a smaller legal practice can deliver the requirement. The route used was a framework call-off, so firms seeking comparable work from this Trust would need access to an appropriate framework and the ability to respond through its call-off process.
