Coverage: 13 active published awards; 13 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

Procedure rationaleThe Trust requires ongoing service and maintenance support for its existing Horizon Cardiology System, a critical clinical application used within cardiology services.
A direct award to Change Healthcare via the NHS Supply Chain Framework is justified as Change Healthcare is the proprietary system owner and sole provider of manufacturer-supported maintenance, software updates, patches and technical support. No alternative supplier can provide these services without significant technical and operational risk.
Awarding a 12-month contract will ensure continuity of service, system reliability, security and compliance, while avoiding disruption to clinical services and patient care. The NHS Supply Chain Framework provides a compliant route to market and assurance of value for money. |
