Analysis and Recovery (Ref: 2025/S 000-011058)

Background

The East of England NHS Collaborative Procurement Hub is proud to introduce an enhanced Analysis and Recovery (A&R) framework to replace the expired Analysis and Reconciliation framework. Having recovered more than £500 million for the NHS and wider public sector since its inception, the A&R framework aims to facilitate retrospective analytical reviews for core spend and transactions, leading to the identification and recovery of overpayments.

The A&R framework provides organisations with a legally compliant route to market. The refreshed framework comprises 10 lots covering a diverse range of specialist auditing services Each lot targets specific issues, offering user organisations the opportunity for process improvement and cost reduction in addition to potential significant financial recoveries.

Benefits

  • All suppliers operate on a ‘no win, no fee’ basis, so the contracting organisation only pays a pre-agreed percentage fee of the money recovered
  • Contracting organisations can call-off directly with any of the suppliers appointed on the framework at pre-determined framework rates or run a further competition inviting all suppliers within the required lot
  • The framework is designed to be resource-light, requiring very little time and involvement from the contracting organisation
  • Suppliers take full responsibility for recovering any overpayments
  • Organisations that have undertaken reviews in the past may undertake future reviews to maximise potential opportunities
  • Services may be undertaken remotely, so suppliers can begin audits without physical access to trust premises
