UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust purchased an annual subscription to the National Clinical Audit and Patient Outcomes Programme (NCAPOP). The requirement is for access to the programme’s clinical audit and patient-outcomes work, classified as auditing services. Delivery is in Cambridge, for the Trust. The procurement was a single-lot requirement and was awarded to the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP), a healthcare quality improvement organisation. This is a subscription service rather than a commission for a one-off audit project; suppliers should therefore understand the provision and administration of national clinical audit programmes and their use in assessing patient outcomes.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was handled as a below-threshold procurement; the specific procedure is not stated. One lot was awarded to the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership. The contract was signed on 5 October 2026 and runs from 6 October 2026 to 5 October 2027. Its stated value is £10,000 excluding VAT (£12,000 including VAT). The award information classifies the service as auditing, but does not set out a separate scoring formula or evaluation criteria. Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is the buyer. The award demonstrates that the Trust selected a supplier for a one-year NCAPOP annual subscription, rather than for a broader audit delivery contract.

For suppliers considering similar work with Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, this award indicates demand for an annual subscription to the National Clinical Audit and Patient Outcomes Programme. A credible competitor would need to provide access to relevant national clinical audits and patient-outcomes activity, and to support the subscription service in a way that meets the needs of an NHS foundation trust. Experience with clinical audit programmes, healthcare quality improvement and the use of audit findings to understand patient outcomes would be directly relevant. The selected provider, HQIP, operates in healthcare quality improvement, indicating that specialist knowledge of this field is pertinent. This is a focused subscription requirement, so a supplier whose offer is limited to one-off auditing or unrelated consultancy would be less closely matched.
