Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured a National Joint Registry subscription for 2026/27. This is a subscription service, classified under CPV 79980000, for an NHS hospital trust based in Liverpool. The requirement concerns the trust’s access to the National Joint Registry service rather than the supply of physical goods, construction or clinical treatment. The procurement was arranged by the trust as the buying organisation, with the service associated with its Liverpool operations. The requirement is focused and specialist: businesses need to provide the National Joint Registry subscription itself, rather than general information services or broad healthcare consultancy. The named supplier is Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership, based in London.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. It comprised one lot. Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership was awarded the National Joint Registry subscription on 27 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 27 July 2026 to 26 July 2027. Its value is £16,768.64 excluding VAT, or £20,122.37 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies the supplier and the subscription service, but gives no competitive evaluation basis because the route used was a below-threshold direct award without competition.

This award is useful market evidence for organisations that provide National Joint Registry subscriptions or closely control access to that specialist registry service. A credible future competitor would need the authority to supply the named subscription, maintain the relevant service relationship and support an NHS trust throughout the contract term. The award also shows that Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust buys this requirement as a focused subscription service rather than as part of a broad technology, consultancy or clinical-services package. Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership is recorded as a large supplier, so competitors should be able to demonstrate organisational capacity, dependable administration and experience serving healthcare organisations. The requirement is a specialist, single-service opportunity.
