Commercial pricing approach
How the NHS Research Secure Data Environment (SDE) Network calculates costs for data access and additional services.
There is a consistent approach to pricing across the SDE Network, both for data access and for additional services. This approach supports sustainability of the network by recovering project costs while aligning with NHS value-sharing principles.
No two projects are the same and every project is priced based on its specific requirements and complexity. Pricing reflects direct costs, a contribution to fixed costs and towards ongoing service investment. There is flexibility to ensure pricing fairly represents the value of access to NHS data, according to the nature and scope of each project.
