UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust procured subscription funding from Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership. The requirement is a subscription service, classified under CPV 79980000, intended to support the Trust through access to subscription-based provision. The service is delivered in the United Kingdom. The Trust is the public-sector buyer and is based in Liverpool. Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership, based in London, was the selected supplier and is identified as a small and medium-sized enterprise and a voluntary, community or social enterprise. This is a service procurement rather than a purchase of goods or construction works, and it concerns a single requirement under the subscription arrangement.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded. Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership was awarded the single subscription requirement. The award is active. The contract was signed on 14 July 2026 and runs from 22 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £12,000 excluding VAT, or £14,400 including VAT. The award and contract relate to one lot. The recorded outcome is an active contract with the selected supplier, rather than an open competitive tender. The legal basis cited is the Procurement Act 2023.

This procurement shows a defined requirement for subscription services within an NHS foundation trust and demonstrates that the buyer has used a direct, below-threshold route for a relatively contained service need. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide a subscription service for UK delivery, demonstrate reliable access or ongoing provision throughout the service term, and present a straightforward offer suitable for a public-sector healthcare organisation. Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership’s status as an SME and voluntary, community or social enterprise also indicates that organisations of this type can supply the requirement. Relevant providers should therefore assess their subscription model, public-sector readiness and ability to serve NHS buyers.
