UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Royal United Hospitals Bath 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 under NHS England and concerns statutory audit services supporting national clinical audit and patient outcomes work. The buying organisation is the Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust, based in Bath. The procurement is classified as a services requirement, with the recorded service classification covering statutory audit services. The work relates specifically to the Trust’s participation in NCAPOP rather than a general audit framework or wider NHS consultancy service. This is a single-requirement procurement associated with the Trust’s Bath operation.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition because it was below threshold. Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP) was selected as the supplier, with the award active. The award date was 21 July 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 3 August 2026 to 2 August 2027. Its value is £10,000 excluding VAT and £12,000 including VAT. The procurement used a direct procedure described as below threshold without competition, so suppliers were not evaluated through an open tender. The contract covers one completed lot and relates to the Trust’s 2026/27 NCAPOP requirement.

This award indicates established demand from Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust for statutory clinical audit services connected with the nationally mandatory NCAPOP programme. A credible future competitor would need to understand national clinical audit and patient-outcomes requirements, deliver reliably within an NHS trust environment, and provide a service aligned with NHS England’s mandatory programme. The selected supplier, Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership, is a large organisation specialising in healthcare quality improvement, which indicates that relevant sector knowledge and programme-specific experience are important. Suppliers considering comparable work should be able to demonstrate dependable delivery of structured statutory audit activity and a clear understanding of the Trust’s NCAPOP obligations.
