Aire Logic

NHS interoperability consultancy

Health data & AI platforms

Employee-owned technology consultancy building the FHIR and NHS Spine interoperability infrastructure behind several of the NHS's largest recent digital contracts.

The read

Aire Logic is a Leeds-based technology consultancy that builds interoperability infrastructure for NHS England's national programmes, including FHIR-based data standards and open platform services for NHS Spine. It has won two of the NHS's larger recent digital infrastructure contracts: a £19m Spine platform deal in 2023 and an approximately £80m digital prevention services deal in 2025.

Unlike most of this category, it is majority-owned by its own staff rather than external investors, having transitioned to an employee ownership trust in May 2022, and holds B Corp certification.

The Bridgehead view

Aire Logic's back-to-back nine-figure NHS interoperability contracts suggest the health service is increasingly comfortable routing critical national infrastructure through mid-sized specialist consultancies rather than the historic incumbents, worth watching as a shift in NHS procurement risk appetite.
