What was said
What this says
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026Aisha Bukhari, Head of Contracts and Commercial, needed proof the data was current before a contract review with a trust. Usage was up, no tickets were open, and the January renewal was flagged for the autumn review.
What happened: Marcus Bell ran a check-in on 2025-06-17 covering usage, the refresh history and a turnaround view by trust. Average active users were a touch over seven, up on the quarter before, with no tickets in the last month.
Customer view: Aisha needs to say what happened, not what is promised, because she cannot tell the trust the data is current unless she is sure. She asked for a one-page summary with the source named.
Commercial: She also asked for the invoices grouped by trust, which Ryan can build as a dashboard view. Marcus said the next quarterly review is in the autumn and the January renewal will be discussed then, with Lewis.
Watch: On Growth, the service levels cover availability and the nightly refresh target, so a freshness miss would not carry a credit.

Transcript
Marcus BellMorning, Aisha. Can you hear me alright?
Aisha BukhariMorning, Marcus. Yes, perfectly. Sorry, I'm eating a very early biscuit. It's been one of those weeks already.- Marcus BellHa, no problem. Busy week up there?
- Aisha BukhariBusy, yes. The contract review is coming up with one of the trusts, and I've been pulling things together since Monday. Which is partly why I wanted this call, to be honest.
- Marcus BellGood, then let me share my screen and say what I'd like to cover. Just a quick look at usage, anything you need for the review, and what's next. Does that suit?
- Aisha BukhariThat suits very well.
- Marcus BellOkay, so I've pulled the numbers. Average active users are a touch over seven, and that's up a fair bit on the quarter before. And there's been no tickets at all in the last month, which is always a nice thing to say.
- Aisha BukhariNo tickets, because Ryan's been sorting things out himself, I suspect. Or because it's just working. I'd like to think it's the second.
- Marcus BellI think it's a bit of both. The overnight refreshes have been landing on time, and the record count is still moving, so nothing's gone stale.
- Aisha BukhariThat's what I wanted to hear. Because what does the contract say about what I can promise the trust? I can't stand in a meeting and say the data's current if I'm not sure it is.
- Marcus BellRight, and I'd not want you to overstate it either. The service levels on Growth cover availability, and the nightly refresh is meant to be complete by seven in the morning on business days. What I can show you is the actual refresh history, so you can say what happened rather than what's promised.
- Aisha BukhariYes, that's exactly it. What happened. Let's see the turnaround figures too, if you can, for that trust. I'm interested in whether the reporting time has been getting better or worse.
- Marcus BellI can do that. Ryan built a view by trust, it's in the dashboards. I'll pull it up now. Hang on. There. So this is the trust you mentioned, and it goes back across the last few months.
- Aisha BukhariMm. Right. So it's flat, then a dip, then it comes back. Is that the dip when we had the scanner down at one of the sites?
- Marcus BellI couldn't tell you from here, that's your world. What I can say is that the data shows a rise in reports waiting for a stretch, and then it clears. If you tell me the dates of the scanner problem, we can check they line up.
- Aisha BukhariI'll ask Ryan. He'll know the dates, he keeps a log. I'd rather say it's explained than leave a gap in the story.
- Marcus BellSensible. Would it help if I exported this as a one-page summary you can put in your pack? Just the chart and the headline lines, nothing else.
- Aisha BukhariYes, please. One page, and plain. And with the source named at the bottom, so nobody asks where it came from. I don't cut corners on information governance, and I don't want anyone at the trust thinking we did.
- Marcus BellOf course. I'll note that it comes from your own systems, via the brain, and the refresh date. I'll send it over this afternoon.
- Aisha BukhariLovely. Now, a slightly different thing. The contract team keep asking whether they can look at the invoices side more easily. They can see what's outstanding but they want to see it grouped by trust. Is that something Ryan can just do?
- Marcus BellI think so, yes. It's the same sort of filter as the turnaround view. I'd suggest Ryan and I spend a short while on it. Shall we book thirty minutes next week? Happy to jump on a call.
- Aisha BukhariYes, do. I'll tell him to expect your invite. He's quite protective of his dashboards, so be gentle.
- Marcus BellI'll be very gentle. I'll just ask nicely.
- Aisha BukhariGood. And one more thing, small. When's the next proper review from your side? I like having it in the diary so I can plan the trust meetings around it.
- Marcus BellGrowth gets a quarterly review, so we'll set the next one for the autumn, and I'll check the date with you rather than guess. We'll also talk about the January renewal then, with Lewis, so there's plenty of notice.
- Aisha BukhariThat's all fine. No surprises for the trust, no surprises for me. That's all I ask.
- Marcus BellUnderstood. So I'll send the one-pager this afternoon, and book thirty minutes with Ryan on the invoice view. You'll check the scanner dates with him?
- Aisha BukhariI will. I'll message him as soon as we're done.
- Marcus BellBrilliant. Thanks, Aisha. Good luck with the review.
- Aisha BukhariThank you, Marcus. Speak soon. Best wishes.
