Summary of the contracting process

Alder Hey Children's NHS Foundation Trust procured business intelligence support for an exploration of secondary-care paediatric services in South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw, as part of the Children's Health Alliance. The requirement is primarily data analysis, covering the examination and interpretation of information about paediatric healthcare services. The buyer is based in Liverpool, and the procurement records delivery locations in Liverpool and the North West, while the service subject is the South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw area. This is a services requirement rather than a goods or construction opportunity. It would suit organisations providing business intelligence, health data analysis or analytical support for NHS and children’s healthcare planning, particularly where they can work with service information across multiple locations and support exploration of secondary-care provision.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 14 July 2026. Alder Hey Children's NHS Foundation Trust used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender value and awarded value were both £24,000. The contract period runs from 15 June 2026 to 31 August 2026. The tender submission deadline was 14 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to EDGE HEALTH LTD, an SME, for £24,000. The recorded evaluation basis is the selection of a supplier through the framework call-off route; the available outcome identifies the successful supplier and award value rather than setting out separate quality or price weightings. The requirement was identified as data analysis services and was treated as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This award is useful market evidence for SMEs offering business intelligence and data analysis to NHS organisations. The buyer needed analytical support focused on secondary-care paediatric services and a defined group of health-system locations, so credible competitors would need to show that they can handle healthcare service data, investigate patterns in paediatric provision and turn analysis into findings that support alliance or service-planning work. Experience of working with NHS stakeholders and communicating analytical results clearly would strengthen a future response, although the procurement record does not state specific accreditations or technical systems. The use of a framework call-off indicates that relevant suppliers should understand framework participation and call-off requirements, rather than relying only on general consultancy experience. The successful supplier’s SME status also shows that this scale of specialist analytical assignment can be delivered by a smaller business.
