Healthcare software company establishes presence in key health tech hub

Tendable, which supplies software to health and social care organisations in the UK and internationally, has invested in a new office at the Platform building in Leeds.

The company already holds a global presence with locations across the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa.

It says Leeds was a key choice for its next move due to the significant health tech presence in the region and central links to NHS Digital and NHS England.

After securing £4m in investment from blue chip VCT investment house Octopus Investments last year, the company has strong growth ambitions for the year ahead.

Tendable says the addition of the new Leeds location will be a critical element of this growth.

The office will be home to the firm’s commercial and marketing teams, with four new roles being immediately advertised.

Tim Bolot, founder and CEO, said: “We seek to work closely with all our customers and to recruit and retain the best talent wherever it is and Leeds is the perfect city to do this with its vibrant health tech economy and links to NHS Digital and NHS England.

“Platform is the perfect location situated as part of Leeds Railway Station, meaning our London and Leeds offices are in effect two hours 30 minutes apart.

“Investment in our Leeds office is a key part of our growth strategy moving forward and offers the start of an exciting new chapter for Tendable.”

Rhian Bulmer, chief partnerships officer, said: “I am so excited Tendable has chosen Leeds as its northern headquarters.

“Leeds is my hometown and I grew up in the health tech arena – from my very first business studies project working with the LGI to look at the efficacy of domestic staff handheld systems.

“Over the years I have seen the health tech market in Leeds grow, diversity and innovation. It is an honour to be part of it.”

Deb Hetherington, head of innovation for Bruntwood SciTech, added: “Tendable is a great example of a health tech provider that has designed a solution that perfectly addresses a gap in the market.

“Having them at our dedicated tech hub in Leeds, Platform, is a great addition to our growing innovative ecosystem of forward-thinking tech businesses.”
