Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust bought installation of emergency and general lighting in its auditorium at Christie Hospital, Manchester. The work was classified as a service and described as lighting installation; the procurement classification refers to commissioning public lighting installations (CPV 50232110). The recorded delivery postcode is M20 4BX. The requirement concerned the auditorium lighting installation rather than a broader hospital-wide lighting programme.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to A Copeland Group Limited. The award was made on 9 August 2026, following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award value was £30,607.29. The contract period ran from 10 August to 9 September 2026. The estimated tender value was also £30,607.29. The process record does not set out award scoring criteria or specific eligibility requirements; it indicates that the opportunity was not considered suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This purchase shows demand from The Christie NHS Foundation Trust for auditorium emergency and general lighting installation, delivered at its Manchester hospital. A supplier competing for a comparable requirement would need to demonstrate the practical capability to install both emergency and general lighting in an auditorium setting and deliver a short, defined installation project. The selected supplier was a small business, showing that a specialist firm was able to deliver this particular requirement, although the procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs. Experience coordinating installation work in a hospital environment and delivering lighting systems to the required operational standard would be commercially relevant; no particular accreditation, technical specification or capacity threshold is stated here.
