UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust procured services for the National Clinical Audit and Patient Outcomes Programme (NCAPOP) for the 2026/27 programme year. The requirement is described as mandatory for NHS England, indicating work that supports nationally required clinical audit and patient-outcome monitoring. The service category is statutory audit services (CPV 79212300). Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust is the buying organisation, and the work is associated with its healthcare services in Salisbury, Wiltshire. The requirement is a single service package rather than a multi-lot programme, with the completed procurement covering the Trust’s participation in NCAPOP. Suppliers with experience delivering clinical audit, patient-outcomes programmes or statutory audit services for NHS organisations would find the subject matter most relevant.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP). Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 29 June 2026 and runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. Its value is £10,000 excluding VAT and £12,000 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement used one completed lot, covering the NCAPOP service requirement. The recorded evaluation route was the direct-award method rather than a competitive tender, so there is no published competitive scoring basis to compare. HQIP is the selected supplier for the full service package.

This award shows a defined NHS requirement for nationally mandated clinical audit and patient-outcomes work, delivered through a specialist quality-improvement organisation. Competitors considering a future requirement from Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust would need credible capability in statutory or clinical audit services and a clear understanding of NHS England’s mandatory audit framework. Relevant experience would include managing audit programmes, collecting and analysing clinical outcome information, producing assurance or quality-improvement outputs, and working with NHS governance and reporting requirements. The buyer’s use of a direct, below-threshold route also indicates that suppliers need to understand the relevant procurement thresholds and demonstrate a focused fit with the requirement. Organisations able to combine healthcare-sector knowledge with reliable audit delivery and patient-outcomes expertise would be best placed to compete if this type of service returns to market.
