Lot details

Clinical Liabilities, Non-Clinical Negligence Claims

The Authority is responsible for managing claims against the NHS Primary & Secondary Care settings. However, the Authority is not an authorised regulated body and therefore cannot conduct litigation without the assistance of specialist legal advisors. The Authority received 13,784 clinical cases and 3,359 non-clinical cases in 2024/2025, which in the same period 13,382 clinical cases and 3,452 non-clinical cases were resolved. Working with the legal panel the Authority case handlers investigate liability and quantum, respond to allegations and negotiate settlement where appropriate. As a consequence of the current contract coming to its natural end, the Authority are in the process of developing an operating model to make best us of legal advisors and how they work in collaboration with Authority teams. Specifically, the estimated value for this project is subject to change and will be confirmed when the Authority issues a contract notice for this opportunity. Therefore, as the Authority continues to finalise its procurement documentation, in accordance with its internal governance processes, this will enable the opportunity to be advertised. It has been necessary to extend by one further period of one (1) year its current contract, which is aligned to the current terms of the original contract.

Regulatory, Health and Employment Law

Lot 2 services relate to the provision of Regulatory, Health and Disciplinary Law: Legal advice and assistance in relation to all aspects of medical and healthcare legislation (as amended from time to time) and corresponding statutory responsibilities and powers of Beneficiaries and their carrying out thereof, including under the NHS legislation for England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Specifically, the estimated value for this project is subject to change and will be confirmed when the Authority issues a contract notice for this opportunity. Therefore, as the Authority continues to finalise its procurement documentation, in accordance with its internal governance processes, this will enable the opportunity to be advertised. It has been necessary to extend by one further period of one (1) year its current contract, which is aligned to the current terms of the original contract.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Legal services (79100000); 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 799,6484 median · 32.7 average (3,878 of 9,648 with a bid count)3.2 average (4,340 of 9,648 with named award suppliers)1 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.

Working with the legal panel the Authority case handlers investigate liability and quantum, respond to allegations and negotiate settlement where appropriate. As a consequence of the current contract coming to its natural end, the Authority are in the process of developing an operating model to make best us of legal advisors and how they work in collaboration with Authority teams. \nSpecifically, the estimated value for this project is subject to change and will be confirmed when the Authority issues a contract notice for this opportunity.\nTherefore, as the Authority continues to finalise its procurement documentation, in accordance with its internal governance processes, this will enable the opportunity to be advertised.
