Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process by The Christie NHS Foundation Trust involved the implementation of project management for Ambient Voice Technology, under the title "Project Management for Ambient Voice Technology Implementation - CHRISTIEGRA-145". Classified under the project management software package category, this tender operates within the services sector. The contracting process is a call-off from a framework agreement, indicating a selective procurement method. This contract commenced on 18th May 2026 and will conclude on 17th August 2026, with a total value of £40,700. The award was given to GRAVITAS RECRUITMENT GROUP LIMITED, with the procurement stage now marked as complete, as of 3rd July 2026.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in project management within the realm of technology implementation. Companies already active in the healthcare or software development sectors might find this contract especially beneficial for growth, although the procurement favoured larger establishments over SMEs and VCSEs. Businesses that can leverage framework agreements will be particularly well-suited to compete for similar contracts in future procurement activities by The Christie NHS Foundation Trust and similar organisations.
