## Summary

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured services relating to the Patient Episode Dataset for Wales (PEDW). PEDW is an official health database recording inpatient and day-case hospital care across NHS Wales. The requirement is therefore relevant to organisations providing health-data services, official healthcare datasets, data access or associated information-management support. The named buying organisation is Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, based in Cambridge. Swansea University is the selected supplier. The requirement concerns a service rather than the supply of physical goods or construction works, with the dataset supporting access to or use of records about hospital activity in Wales.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a below-threshold procedure, with the method recorded as unknown, and comprised one completed lot. Swansea University was awarded the contract. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £18,100 excluding VAT and £21,720 including VAT. The award covers services classified under CPV 64000000, postal and telecommunications services, although the substantive requirement is the Patient Episode Dataset for Wales. The contract is active. No award date, supplier evaluation weighting or other selection basis is stated in the procurement information.

This award demonstrates demand from Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for access to a substantial, official healthcare dataset covering NHS Wales inpatient and day-case activity. Competitors preparing for a future requirement would need credible capability in supplying health-data services and supporting dependable access to structured patient-episode information. Relevant strengths would include experience working with healthcare organisations, handling sensitive or operationally important data, and maintaining reliable data services at institutional scale. Swansea University’s selection shows that a large academic organisation can satisfy this type of requirement; universities, specialist health-data providers and established information-service businesses may therefore be well placed to compete when the requirement returns. The below-threshold route also indicates a relatively focused purchasing process.
