The core contract is for three years, with a maximum budget of £778,316 excluding VAT (£933,979.20 including VAT), and may be extended by up to 24 months; the potential overall ceiling, including extensions and aspirational measures, is £6,417,788 excluding VAT. The critical qualification is the ability to deliver a high-quality national clinical audit that supports measurable healthcare improvement and aligns with relevant NICE guidance and quality standards.
