## Summary

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust recently completed a procurement process for services related to independent employment investigations. The process, initiated as a tender, was concluded with an award to Nora Bartley, a small to medium enterprise (SME) based in Liverpool, UK, focusing on human resources management consultancy and investigation services. The procurement was conducted directly and below the threshold, without competition. The contract, titled "Independent employment investigations", commenced on 14th August 2025 and is expected to continue until 25th June 2026, with a gross value of £120,000. This award highlights a targeted procurement approach, facilitated under the UKPGA 2023/54 legal framework, ensuring timely external investigations due to the seniority of individuals involved.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in human resources consultancy and investigative services to engage with central government bodies, such as the NHS Trusts. Companies with expertise in handling sensitive employment investigations and a track record in delivering timely and effective results could see substantial growth by securing similar contracts. As the NHS increasingly looks for SMEs that can provide niche, high-quality consultancy services, businesses capable of meeting these criteria are ideally positioned to compete in this market sector.
