Summary of the contracting process

NHS England has awarded a contract for the "PICANet Level 2 Clinical Database" project, with a focus on data collection and analysis to support recommendations from the NHSE Service Transformation Review of Paediatric Critical Care and Surgery in Children. The direct award contract has been given to the University of Leeds, which is acting as the supplier. The procurement method was justified under PA23 Schedule 5, paragraph 6, with the procurement falling under the health services category. The contract started on 14th November 2025 and is set to complete on 31st March 2026, while the total gross value of the contract is £234,840. The database project supports vital data continuity for statutory and essential reporting. Located in London, NHS England is a central government public authority, and this process reached the 'Award' stage by July 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in health services, particularly those specialising in data collection and analysis for healthcare systems. Large-scale organisations, similar to the University of Leeds, would find this type of tender an effective avenue for growth, given the project's national importance in paediatric healthcare quality assurance and benchmarking. The project requires technical expertise and a robust capacity to handle comprehensive data sets, with the expectation for continuity in crucial healthcare information systems. Opportunities also exist for collaborations and sub-contracting, particularly for businesses in the paediatric healthcare sector or those developing innovative data-handling methods.
