Summary of the contracting process

Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust commissioned services to manage the National Clinical Audit and Patient Outcomes Programme (NCAPOP) on behalf of NHS England. The requirement supports the Trust’s contractual obligations and compliance with Care Quality Commission standards. It falls within clinical and statutory audit services, covering the management and delivery of a national healthcare audit and patient outcomes programme rather than construction, goods supply or general consultancy. The named public-sector buyer is Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust, based in Leeds, and the work is associated with its healthcare service responsibilities. The requirement was structured as a single lot and awarded to Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP), a large UK healthcare quality organisation.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded and signed. Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under a single completed lot. Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP) was selected on 26 August 2026. The contract was signed on 8 September 2026 and runs from 8 September 2026 to 7 September 2027. Its value is £10,000 excluding VAT and £12,000 including VAT. The contract is active. The published outcome identifies statutory audit services as the classification and confirms that HQIP is the supplier. This is a completed award rather than an opportunity for suppliers to submit bids.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement is evidence that Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust buys specialist support for national clinical audit and patient outcomes work. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable expertise in statutory or clinical audit, healthcare quality improvement and the management of patient outcome programmes. It would also need to understand NHS contractual obligations and how audit activity supports Care Quality Commission standards. Relevant capability includes coordinating programme delivery, handling healthcare performance information and producing dependable outputs for NHS stakeholders. The selected supplier’s profile indicates that the buyer chose an established, large healthcare quality organisation, so comparable organisations should be able to show sufficient organisational capacity and sector experience for a national programme.
