## Summary

The Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has engaged in a procurement process for Election Services with Civica Election Services Ltd. This initiative was expedited due to a recent governor resignation, prompting the need for an election at the end of January 2026, earlier than the anticipated late 2026. The procurement used a direct method without competition, as the contract was below the financial threshold. The services required are categorised under recruitment services and pertain to conducting elections to maintain the Council of Governors quorate. The procurement process is in the award stage, with the contract signed and activated on 16 January 2026, running until 22 April 2026 in Bradford, United Kingdom.

This tender presents valuable business growth opportunities for companies specialising in election services, particularly those focusing on recruitment services for public authorities. As the procurement was awarded without competition, it is exemplificative of niche opportunities that could arise from unforeseen governance changes. Companies akin to Civica Election Services Ltd, especially those with the capacity to deliver specialised public sector services promptly and efficiently, would be well-suited to take advantage of such tenders, potentially increasing their footprint within the healthcare institution sector. Given the governmental central public authority setting associated with this procurement, gaining experience and visibility through such engagements could strengthen a business's profile significantly.

## Notice

Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (BTHFT) conducts elections to ensure that the Council of Governors at BTHFT remains quorate. Although the next election was not expected to take place until late 2026, a recent governor resignation now necessitates initiating the election process at the end of January 2026.
