## Summary

Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured specialist recruitment services to appoint two non-executive directors. The requirement covers executive search and recruitment activity for the Trust’s non-executive director appointments, supporting the organisation in identifying and appointing suitable board-level candidates. The buying organisation is Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, based at Bradford Royal Infirmary in Bradford. The procurement is categorised as services, with the recruitment services classification CPV 79600000. This is a focused requirement for an executive search or senior recruitment business with experience of sourcing, assessing and appointing non-executive or similarly senior candidates for a public, healthcare or complex organisational setting. The successful supplier was Alumni Executive Search UK Ltd, based in London.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was awarded to Alumni Executive Search UK Ltd on 2 August 2026, and the contract is active. Its period runs from 3 August 2026 to 2 December 2026. The contract value is £15,000 excluding VAT and £18,000 including VAT. There was one lot covering the full requirement, and the award relates to that lot. The contract is for recruitment services for two non-executive directors at Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. This outcome shows that the Trust used a restricted, limited route rather than an open competition, with a single supplier selected for the complete requirement. The contract was signed on 2 August 2026.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear example of Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust’s demand for a targeted executive recruitment service rather than a broad staffing contract. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate a strong executive search capability, including access to suitably senior candidates, structured assessment and the ability to manage appointments at non-executive director level. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that this type of focused assignment can be delivered by a specialist search firm rather than only by a large recruitment group. Relevant evidence would include comparable board, non-executive or senior public-sector appointments and a reliable process for delivering multiple appointments within a defined assignment.
