Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust commissioned a health-services review for its Upper GI team and oesophago-gastric cancer surgical services. The work covered 25 clinical records and was intended to support review of these specialist services. The requirement was delivered for the Trust in Cambridge and the surrounding area. It is a clinical records review rather than the supply of equipment, construction or general administrative support. Organisations considering comparable work would need to understand upper gastrointestinal and oesophago-gastric cancer pathways, work confidently with surgical-service teams, and handle sensitive clinical information appropriately. The procurement shows demand for specialist external review within an NHS hospital setting, with the Royal College of Surgeons of England selected to provide the service.

This procurement has been completed and awarded under a below-threshold procedure; the recorded method detail is unknown. One lot was awarded to the Royal College of Surgeons of England, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 17 July 2026 and runs from 23 July 2026 to 22 July 2027. Its value is £37,948.85 excluding VAT, or £45,538.62 including VAT. The requirement concerned health services and the review of 25 clinical records for Upper GI and oesophago-gastric cancer surgical services. The contracting authority is Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The published outcome identifies one selected supplier and one contract for the complete requirement.

This outcome is relevant to organisations with established expertise in reviewing upper gastrointestinal and oesophago-gastric cancer surgical services, particularly those able to assess clinical records and provide informed findings to an NHS hospital team. Credible competitors would need suitably experienced clinical reviewers, a clear understanding of surgical pathways and cancer services, and robust arrangements for confidentiality, information governance and secure handling of patient records. The requirement also indicates that the buyer may use an external specialist body rather than relying solely on internal review. Suppliers seeking comparable work should be able to demonstrate relevant healthcare review experience, sound clinical governance and capacity to examine a defined set of records while producing dependable, professionally credible conclusions for hospital services.
