Tender: Establish National Registry for Robotically Assisted Surgery – NHS‑funded Care in England (3‑Year Contract)

About

Supplier needed to establish and operate a National Registry for Robotically Assisted Surgery for NHS‑funded care in England under an initial three‑year contract with a core maximum budget of £1,300,320 including VAT (£1,083,600 excluding VAT); bids must not exceed this core value. There is potential to extend the contract by up to 24 months and, including possible aspirational measures and extensions, a conditional ceiling value of £10,800,808 including VAT (£8,640,646.40 excluding VAT). The registry must be delivered by 2029 (before the end of year three), capture prospective key data, align with NICE early evaluation assessment (EVA) recommendations for orthopaedics and soft tissue, support acquisition of relevant metrics, provide near‑real‑time data and timely, tailored outputs, enable linkage to other national datasets where feasible, use robust methodological and statistical techniques, be clinically led, avoid duplicating existing data collections and ensure interoperability, and develop a self‑sustaining funding model during the first three years with funder and commissioner involvement and continued governance roles for HQIP and NHSE. The supplier must also consider portability and intellectual property requirements for future migration, plan for possible metric evolution in collaboration with NICE, and limit any manufacturer data flows to service‑user outcomes rather than commercial messaging.
