## Summary

Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured general legal advisory services for its human resources function. The requirement supports the Trust with internal decisions and falls within the legal services category (CPV 79100000). Services are delivered for the Trust in Bradford, West Yorkshire, at its Duckworth Lane site. The buyer is an NHS foundation trust, and the work is classified as a service rather than goods or construction. The appointed provider is a legal services firm, indicating that the requirement concerns professional advice and support rather than legal technology, administrative staffing or physical works. This opportunity is therefore relevant to solicitors and legal practices with experience advising NHS organisations on employment and human resources matters.

The procurement is complete and has been 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 30 June 2026 at 12 noon. Capsticks Solicitors LLP received the award on 24 July 2026 for £10,000. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. The published data records the same award and value twice for Capsticks, rather than separate suppliers or lots. The process was evaluated as a legal advisory services requirement, with no separate award weighting or scoring basis stated. The requirement was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award shows demand from Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for specialist employment and human resources legal advice delivered through a framework call-off. A competing supplier would need a credible team of solicitors able to advise on internal NHS employment decisions, understand the operational and regulatory environment of an NHS foundation trust, and provide dependable advice at short notice when workforce issues arise. Relevant experience should include practical human resources and employment law, clear written advice for management decision-making, and the capacity to support a public-sector client throughout the service period. Firms seeking comparable work should also have access to the relevant legal services framework and be able to demonstrate strong quality controls, responsive account management and experience handling sensitive workforce matters.
