Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust commissioned a services contract for a Backlog Survey and Feasibility Study. The work is a feasibility study focused on surveying a backlog, providing the buyer with an assessment to support decisions about how that backlog can be addressed. The contracting authority is The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, based on Wilmslow Road in Manchester. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s site in Manchester, United Kingdom. This is a specialist advisory and assessment requirement rather than a supply, construction or routine operational service. It is relevant to consultancies and professional services firms that undertake backlog surveys, feasibility assessments, evidence gathering and related analysis for NHS or other complex public-sector organisations.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to DSSR on 10 May 2026. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded for £31,300, with a contract period from 11 May 2026 to 8 October 2026. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process, and the award is active. The procurement was treated as a services contract and was not divided into lots. The selected supplier, DSSR, is based in Stretford, Manchester. The arrangement therefore provides a clear example of The Christie NHS Foundation Trust using a framework to appoint a provider for a defined feasibility-study assignment.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award is evidence that The Christie NHS Foundation Trust buys focused consultancy support to examine backlogs and test the feasibility of possible solutions. The route to market is a framework call-off, so firms seeking comparable work with this buyer would need relevant framework access as well as a credible record of delivering surveys, feasibility studies and clear evidence-based recommendations. Strong candidates would be able to structure a backlog assessment, analyse findings, identify practical options and communicate conclusions to NHS stakeholders. Experience of complex public-sector environments, disciplined project delivery and the capacity to complete a short, defined assignment would support credibility when this type of requirement returns.
