two.2.4) Description of the procurement
The Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP) is seeking to commission an
organisation that will support the delivery of the National Audit of Eating Disorders (NAED).
The programme will initially be delivered for NHS-funded care in England, but may later extend to include Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Jersey and Isle of Man Guernsey and other Devolved Nations/ Crown Dependencies.
The total contract value is £1,350,000 excluding VAT for the duration of three years with
potential to extend the contract for up to two additional years at a value of up to £455,000 per
year.
The aspirational intent including the core 3 year value, extension value and all other
aspirational intent as defined in section 12 of the specification of this ITT has a potential
ceiling value of up to £12,559,451.
The Authority is under no obligation to invoke any aspirational intent.
It is anticipated that the new service will commence in August 2024. This procurement is for
clinical services which are part of the 'Public Contract Regulations (PCR2015)' for the
purpose of the Regulations. The commissioner is not voluntarily following any other part of
the Regulations. The process will be similar to an Open Procedure where the Regulations

that the Commissioner is following is set out in the Invitation to Tender.
