Summary of the contracting process

The London Universities Purchasing Consortium is overseeing a new procurement process for the provision of Clinical Data Collection services as part of the National Clinical Audit of Perioperative Care (NCAPC). This project officially commenced on 1st October 2025 and spans a projected duration of three years, concluding on 30th September 2028. The current tender is in the active stage, with an end date for submissions on 16th March 2026. The main industry classification for this project is "Data collection and collation services" under CPV code 72314000, and it falls under the services category. The open procedure is being utilised as the procurement method, inviting interested parties from the United Kingdom and beyond to participate. The audit's first year focuses on preparation for data collection set to start in October 2026, and the contract period is slated to begin on 1st June 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in data services, particularly those with expertise in healthcare data collection and auditing. While the procurement encourages broad participation, it might not be specifically tailored for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies that can offer comprehensive and reliable data collection solutions within the healthcare sector will find substantial growth opportunities through this tender. By participating, businesses can strengthen their portfolio in the public healthcare domain and establish a prominent presence in a long-term national project. Interested organisations should consider the geographical scope of the project, which extends to the British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, and the Rest of the World, thereby expanding their influence beyond the UK.
