Summary of the contracting process

NHS England commissioned a clinical data service for the Paediatric Intensive Care Audit Network (PICANet) Level 2 database. The requirement was to collect and analyse Level 2 paediatric critical care data, supporting recommendations from the NHS England Service Transformation Review of Paediatric Critical Care and Surgery in Children. The service supports national data collection and reporting for quality assurance, benchmarking, commissioning and policy. The procurement was led by NHS England, with the work concerning national paediatric critical care data rather than a local delivery site. The relevant service category is health services (CPV 85100000). The requirement was awarded to the University of Leeds, a large public-service-mission organisation, which operated the PICANet Level 2 clinical database service.

This completed procurement used a direct award under PA23 Schedule 5, paragraph 6, with one lot and no competitive tender. The award was made to the University of Leeds on 30 September 2025 and the contract was signed on 3 November 2025. The contract period ran from 14 November 2025 to 31 March 2026, with a one-year renewal option and a maximum extent to 31 March 2027. The awarded and contracted value was £195,700 excluding VAT (£234,840 including VAT). The contract has ended and was terminated as completed on 31 March 2026; the termination was published on 14 September 2026. The stated reason was contract completion, with publication delayed by administrative and operational circumstances. The direct-award rationale cited the need for continuity of essential national data collection.

This procurement indicates demand for specialist clinical database services supporting national paediatric critical care intelligence. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate the ability to collect, manage and analyse Level 2 paediatric critical care data at national scale, and to turn it into reliable reporting for quality assurance, benchmarking, commissioning and policy. Experience with clinically important audit or registry data, strong data-quality controls and analytical capability would be commercially relevant. Suppliers would also need to understand the operational importance of maintaining continuity in an established national dataset, avoiding gaps in reporting and supporting the recommendations of service reviews. Organisations with established links to paediatric critical care, clinical research, health-data analysis or public-sector reporting would be well placed to compete when NHS England next reviews this requirement.
