What is being bought

Specialised Commissioning historically funded a small number of clinical registries and audits related to specialised services, with arrangements predating NHS England. After 2013, NHSE became responsible for several of these databases, though oversight remained regional until 2018/19. To strengthen governance and strategic direction, funding has since been centralised nationally. As these registries are essential for specialised commissioning- holding unique clinical data and supporting service identification-approval is sought to extend current funding arrangements for 18 months to ensure continuity and stability.

Lot details

Lot 1

Specialised Commissioning has historically provided funding to a small proportion of the total number clinical registries, databases and audits; collecting data relevant to specialised services. These funding arrangements pre-date the existence of NHS England.<br/><br/>Following the change in function of the Department of Health in 2013, NHSE was delegated the responsibility for a number of clinical registries and databases, which it funds outright. Since 2013 Regional commissioning hubs held the budgets for the funding and there was been little central oversight until 2018/19.<br/><br/>In order to improve governance and strategic direction for this area of spend, the funding for these contributions has been centralised from regional to national specialised commissioning. In order to maintain stability for these data collections and to continue payment of these contributions (on which there is a level of commissioning and clinical reliance), approval is sought for the extension of these arrangements for a further 18 months.<br/><br/>These clinical databases are important to specialised service commissioning because population is a requirement of specialised providers (via clinical service specifications) and, in some cases, the clinical databases / registries hold clinical details not located in other information systems, aiding identification of specialised service activity.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Health services (85100000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 8538,3711 median · 19.7 average (22,929 of 38,371 with a bid count)1.8 average (24,590 of 38,371 with named award suppliers)10 comparable price pairs

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
