Guide

What HealthTrust Europe suppliers actually have to report.

There is little independent explanation of the HealthTrust Europe monthly MI return: the required fields, the deadline, the penalty for missing it, and how frameworks differ. This guide sets out what the published framework terms say, with a source named for every claim. It is not legal or compliance advice.

Next MI deadline 15th, or preceding business day — Tuesday 15 September

The twelve contractual fields

The twelve fields named in the current terms cover authority, contract, invoice, item, price, quantity, VAT and totals. Each participating authority is mapped to its HTE code, each framework to its contract reference, and each item to its part number, description and unit of measure.

FieldWhat goes in it
Participating Authority Name / CodeThe authority under the framework that placed the order, by its HTE code.
HTE Contract ReferenceThe framework contract the order was placed against.
Invoice NumberThe supplier's own invoice number for the line.
Invoice DateThe date the invoice was raised.
Part NumberThe supplier's product or item code.
DescriptionThe item description.
Unit PriceThe price per unit, before VAT.
Unit of MeasureThe unit the item is sold in.
Quantity SuppliedThe number of units invoiced.
Total Net ValueThe line value before VAT.
Total VATThe VAT charged on the line.
Total Gross ValueThe line value including VAT.

The monthly deadline

Current HTE terms require the previous month's information by the 15th; when that date is not a Business Day, the applicable published contracts move the deadline to the preceding Business Day.

Liquidated damages

The current framework terms set liquidated damages at £250 for each month of delay when management information is still missing 14 days after the due date.

Why frameworks vary

HTE can request additional, similar information with one month's notice. Any such information is an explicit framework-specific variation, versioned separately, not an invented fixed thirteenth column added to every return.

That also means the twelve-field contractual core above is not, by itself, a confirmed return for your framework. Which additional fields apply, if any, depends on your specific HTE framework and is confirmed separately before any paid workflow — not assumed from this guide.
