Summary of the contracting process

NHS England has awarded a contract for the PICANet Level 2 Clinical Database to the University of Leeds. This project involves the collection and analysis of Level 2 PICANet data, which supports the NHS England Service Transformation Review recommendations on Paediatric Critical Care and Surgery in Children. The project is categorised under health services and operates on a direct award procurement method, primarily due to technical reasons for involving a single supplier. The award, valued at approximately £195,700 excluding VAT, is set to run from 3 November 2025 to 31 March 2026. The contract is based in Leeds, UK, and there is the possibility of renewal for an additional year.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in health data analysis, particularly those capable of handling complex clinical datasets and contributing to national healthcare quality assurance and policy development. Companies involved in the provision of health services, especially those linked to paediatric care, are well-suited to compete for similar contracts. Additionally, the need for continuous and high-quality data collection to avoid gaps in statutory or essential data highlights the importance of reliability and expertise in service delivery.
