The initial contract is anticipated to be for a period of 3 years, at a maximum total budget of up to £ 1,146,300.00 excl VAT and £1,375,560.00 with VAT. Bids exceeding this limit will be rejected. Due to the unknowns in advance of holding the premarket engagement session, it is currently expected that the extension value will be a 2 year pro rata of the core 3 year funding, estimated at £743,300.00 excluding VAT. Further to this funding, the final specification will contain a list of aspirational measures which will be expected to be modified into the contract should the need and funding become available. The aspirational intent value is unknown at the point of drafting this notice, This aspirational intent has the potential to be invoked fully, partially, or not at all, and the Authority cannot guarantee that the successful provider will be required to do any of the aspirational measures that will be listed in the final specification. The values stated may be subject to change and the final values will be given when the tender goes live.

Performance and outcomes metrics are benchmarked against national guidance and standards e.g. quality standards from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), and those from other established professional and patient sources. For all HQIP-commissioned national clinical audits, the default expectation is that existing, routinely collected digital data will be used wherever available, and bespoke collection of data is avoided unless there is no other means of sourcing the data capable of meeting the needs of the project. Potential sources of existing digital data can include national data collections (for example, Hospital Episode Statistics and the Patient Episode Database for Wales), and Electronic Patient Records (EPR) data (whether from the system providers or via local data extraction and upload). Data is most useful locally for healthcare improvement when its provision to clinical teams is timely, the data is refreshed regularly and appropriate tools, support and guidance accompany the data outputs. The intent is for all of these features of the audit to be implemented and improved during the period of this contract. This audit programme is expected to: a)Develop a robust, high-quality audit designed around key quality indicators likely to best support local and national quali... > [Read full procurement scope and specification on Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/national-infection-and-sepsis-audit-acute-nhs-settings-ocds-h6vhtk-06af12) ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planning - **CPV codes:** 85100000 - **Delivery regions:** UK - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Contract Period:** 31/03/2027 to 31/03/2030 - **Renewal published:** yes ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F053491-2026) - **Last Source Update:** 2026-06-05T15:05:52.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-28T22:12:22.379Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-06af12
