Summary of the contracting process

Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust commissioned management of the National Clinical Audit and Patients Outcome Programme (NCAPOP) on behalf of NHS England. The service is required under contract and to support Care Quality Commission standards. It is a clinical audit and patient outcomes management service, classified as statutory audit services (CPV 79212300). The requirement covers one completed lot. The supplier’s role is to manage the national programme for the Trust, rather than to provide general healthcare delivery or routine local administrative support. The buying organisation is Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust, based in Leeds, and the programme is national in scope. This opportunity is relevant to organisations with experience delivering or managing clinical audit, healthcare quality improvement, patient outcomes programmes or related statutory assurance services for NHS bodies.

The procurement has been awarded following a direct award below the applicable threshold and without competition. The tender is complete and the contract was awarded to Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP) on 26 August 2026. The awarded value is £10,000 excluding VAT, or £12,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 8 September 2026 to 7 September 2027. One lot was used and awarded. A contract signature was scheduled for 8 September 2026. The evaluation basis was therefore the buyer’s direct-award decision rather than a competitive assessment of tenders. The procurement was made under the Procurement Act 2023. HQIP is recorded as a large supplier and is the selected provider for the full NCAPOP requirement.

This award is evidence that Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust requires specialist support for national clinical audit and patient outcomes work linked to NHS England obligations and CQC standards. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate capability in managing clinical audit programmes, handling outcome data, coordinating healthcare stakeholders and producing reliable assurance or improvement outputs. Experience of NHS governance, statutory audit requirements and quality standards would be directly relevant. Suppliers should also be able to manage a national programme on behalf of an NHS organisation, understand the relationship between audit findings and patient-care improvement, and operate at a scale suitable for a single, defined service requirement. The route used here shows that this buyer has previously met the requirement through a below-threshold direct award without competition.
