Summary of the contracting process

NHS England procured continuation of the LeDeR web platform beyond 2026. LeDeR means Learning from Lives and Deaths for people with a learning disability and autistic people. The service is a web-based platform covering the whole of England. Its primary purpose is to enable effective notification of deaths of people with a learning disability and autistic people. Information flows through the platform to integrated care boards, including at Sub-ICB level, so that reviews can be undertaken. This is a software and information systems service within the wider health and care sector. Delivery covers England, with the buying organisation based at Wellington Place in Leeds. The requirement would suit businesses providing, supporting or maintaining web platforms used for sensitive public-sector notification, data-flow and review processes.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Quality Education Solutions Limited on 31 July 2026. NHS England used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 21 May 2026 at 12:00. The awarded value is £628,000, with the published estimated range running from £20,000 to £628,000. The contract period is 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The selected supplier is identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The award is active and the tender status is complete. The procurement is for services and is presented as a single requirement rather than separate lots. The stated scope is continuation of the LeDeR platform, including death notifications and onward notification to ICBs so reviews can be carried out.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for a national web platform supporting death notification and review activity for people with a learning disability and autistic people. A credible future competitor would need to show experience maintaining dependable web-based systems used across England, handling structured information flows to multiple NHS organisations and supporting processes that enable reviews at both ICB and Sub-ICB level. Relevant capability includes understanding health and care operational workflows, continuity of service and the practical support needed to keep a platform functioning beyond an existing delivery period. The award to an SME also indicates that a smaller specialist supplier can meet the buyer’s needs through a framework call-off route. Businesses with comparable platform, public-sector data and service-support experience should monitor this buyer’s continuing requirement.
