## Summary

Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured temporary clinical coding services to reduce uncoded patient records and support contractual reporting. The requirement is a clinical coding resource, involving technical analysis or consultancy services (CPV 71621000), for the Trust’s hospital operations. Delivery covers the Trust’s services in the United Kingdom, with the buyer based at Whiston Hospital in Prescot. This is a specialist healthcare information service rather than a general administrative or IT support requirement. Businesses with experience providing clinical coding capacity to NHS organisations, maintaining coding quality and helping hospitals manage uncoded records are the most relevant comparators. The requirement was structured as a single lot covering the complete temporary resource service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded below the applicable threshold through a procedure described as “Below threshold - unknown”. One lot was completed. CEC Healthcare Coding Limited was selected as supplier, and the contract was signed on 17 August 2026. The contract runs from 18 August 2026 to 17 December 2026. Its value is £107,840 excluding VAT and £134,800 including VAT. The award covers the clinical coding resource and associated technical analysis or consultancy services for the single lot. The contracting authority is Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. The award is recorded as active and the contract is also recorded as active, so this summary reflects an awarded requirement rather than an invitation to submit bids.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust for short-term clinical coding capacity linked to contractual reporting and the reduction of uncoded records. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need suitably trained clinical coders who can work accurately within hospital information systems, manage coding backlogs and produce reliable outputs for reporting. Relevant experience with NHS or comparable acute healthcare providers would help demonstrate understanding of clinical terminology, coding governance, confidentiality and operational pressures. The selected supplier is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist provider rather than only by a large national consultancy. Providers should be able to mobilise a temporary team and maintain consistent quality throughout the assignment.
