## Summary

The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust procured data-processing services to validate RTT (Referral to Treatment) data. The work is associated with the Trust’s requirement in CM20 1QX, in the East of England. This is a healthcare data-validation service rather than a purchase of physical goods or construction work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Source Group on 20 January 2026. The award is valued at £282,912, for a contract running from 12 January 2026 to 11 January 2027. The original estimated value range was £100,000 to £300,000. The Trust used a selective process through a call-off from the COCH F075 framework agreement, making this a direct award rather than an open competition. The requirement was treated as a service contract and marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The published data does not set out an evaluation basis beyond this framework call-off route.

This award demonstrates demand at the Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust for specialist support validating Referral to Treatment data. Suppliers considering comparable future work with this buyer would need to show that they can process and validate healthcare data accurately, understand RTT information and work within the Trust’s operational requirements. The selected supplier was identified through a framework call-off, so relevant framework access and a credible track record in delivering this specific type of data-processing service are important commercial considerations. The procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that the buyer was seeking capacity beyond the scale it considers appropriate for those organisations. Competitors should be prepared to evidence the resources and expertise needed to deliver the service reliably.
