Summary of the contracting process

Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured access to the Major Trauma Registry through a membership arrangement. The registry supports audit and research into major trauma, helping hospitals identify and drive improvements in care where needed. This is a membership organisation service rather than a clinical treatment, construction or general consultancy requirement. The buying organisation is Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, based at Bradford Royal Infirmary. The requirement relates to the Trust’s participation in a Major Trauma Network and reflects the mandated need for participating hospitals to access the registry. The awarded supplier is NHS Arden & GEM CSU, whose service supports the registry membership requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was awarded without competition using a below-threshold direct procurement route. NHS Arden & GEM CSU was selected for the single requirement. The contract was signed on 30 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029. Its value is £10,962 gross, including the stated amount in GBP. The contract title describes a one-year Major Trauma Registry membership waiver, while the published contract period covers three years. The procurement was treated as a services requirement and was below the applicable threshold. The contract is not divided into competing lots, and the award record contains no separate evaluation weighting or scoring basis.

For a future requirement of this type, credible suppliers would need to provide access to, or operate within, the Major Trauma Registry membership service and understand the requirements placed on hospitals in a Major Trauma Network. Relevant capability would include supporting structured trauma data used for audit, research and service improvement, with dependable access for a teaching hospital environment. Suppliers would also need to demonstrate that their service meets the operational and governance expectations associated with a mandated NHS registry, rather than offering a general membership product. The award shows that Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust buys this requirement through a direct, below-threshold route and at a modest service scale, making specialist registry knowledge and an established NHS-facing delivery model important commercial strengths.
