Description

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.
