## Summary

Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust, a central government public authority located in Salisbury, United Kingdom, has completed the procurement process entitled "Legal Advisory Services for Key Worker Accommodation". This contract involves legal services aimed at supporting the proposed disposal and long-term management of key worker accommodation. The procurement was conducted through a direct call off from the HTE Legal Services Framework and has now reached the contract stage, with an award notice published on 27 January 2026. Hempsons LLP, a large-scale legal firm based in London, has been appointed as the supplier for this service. The contract period is set from 1 February 2026 to 31 August 2026, with potential renewals extending up to 28 February 2027.

This tender presents significant business opportunities mainly for large legal firms with expertise in public sector contracts and NHS-related services. Given the specialised nature of the legal advisory tasks and the framework compliance required, firms with prior experience in similar frameworks and healthcare projects are well-suited to benefit from such engagements. This direct procurement method, below threshold without competition, highlights the importance of strategic partnerships and existing frameworks in facilitating these opportunities, particularly for businesses looking to expand their public sector portfolio.

## Notice

The Trust has undertaken a direct call off from the HTE Legal Services Framework to appoint Hempsons LLP to provide specialist legal advisory services in support of the proposed Key Worker Accommodation disposal and long term management scheme. A Transparency Notice will be published to declare the Trust's intention to award the legal services contract directly to Hempsons LLP via the HTE Legal Services Framework, in line with the Procurement Act 2023 requirements. This ensures openness and visibility of the Trust's decision, enabling suppliers to understand the justification (specialist nature, urgency, framework compliance, and Hempsons' relevant NHS experience). Publishing the notice provides the required legal assurance, supports defensibility of the direct award, and demonstrates adherence to SFI and statutory transparency obligations.
