## Summary

The Airedale NHS Foundation Trust has initiated a direct procurement process titled "NHP Workforce Modelling" to support its New Hospital Programme. The procurement falls under human resources management consultancy services and is located in the United Kingdom, specifically in Keighley. Currently, the process is in the award stage with Carados Limited selected as the supplier. The contract, valued at £60,000 excluding VAT, spans from 4 March 2026 to 31 August 2026. The procurement method was below threshold and conducted without competition as outlined by UK legislation 2023/54.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses adept in workforce planning and consultancy services. Companies specialising in analytical and strategic planning within the healthcare sector would be well-suited to deliver such services.
