Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust commissioned patient survey services covering inpatient care, maternity services, and children and young people’s (CYP) services. The work is intended to gather patient feedback through surveys, with delivery associated with Leicester, including Leicester Royal Infirmary. This is a healthcare research and survey-services requirement rather than a clinical treatment contract. The buyer is an NHS trust serving Leicester and the surrounding area. The appointed supplier is IQVIA LTD., a large organisation specialising in healthcare data, research and related services. Businesses with experience designing, managing and reporting patient surveys for hospitals or other healthcare providers would find the requirement most relevant.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made to IQVIA LTD. on 19 July 2026 for £14,522 including the stated GBP currency. The contract runs from 20 July 2026 to 19 July 2027. The requirement was evaluated as a survey-services procurement, with the contracting route limited to suppliers eligible through the relevant framework rather than an open tender. It covers one combined requirement for inpatient, maternity, and children and young people’s surveys. The procurement was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For a supplier that did not win, this award provides a clear example of the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust’s demand for structured patient feedback across inpatient, maternity and children and young people’s services. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate practical capability in healthcare survey design, patient engagement, fieldwork administration, data quality control, analysis and clear reporting. Experience working with NHS trusts and sensitive patient populations would be important, particularly where surveys span adults, maternity patients, parents or carers, and younger people. Suppliers should also be able to work through framework call-off arrangements and deliver a joined-up service across several clinical survey areas.
