Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, located in Manchester, United Kingdom, has completed a procurement process for "Contrast Media" under the CPV classification category for Reagents and Contrast Media. The procurement was conducted using a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period concluded on 30th November 2025, and the contract commenced on 1st December 2025, running until 31st August 2026. Bracco UK Limited, based in Oxford, was awarded the contract with a value of £40,850.46. An optional extension of this contract is available until 31st August 2028, providing further opportunities for collaboration.

This tender primarily presents growth opportunities for larger suppliers dealing in medical goods due to its classification and substantial contract value. Smaller businesses such as SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises might find limited entry points, considering the suitability profile. Nevertheless, entities experienced in supplying contrast media or similar pharmaceutical products should have the necessary capabilities to compete successfully in future related tenders. Firms aiming to collaborate with prominent healthcare institutions like The Christie NHS Foundation Trust can leverage this awarded contract as a strategic partnership building block.
