Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust procured project management services to support its Network Refresh Programme. The requirement is a professional services assignment covering project management for a technology network refresh, rather than the supply of network hardware itself. The buying organisation is The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, based at Withington in Manchester, and the work is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. The procurement is categorised as services and is associated with project management software development services (CPV 72212331). The requirement is therefore relevant to project management consultancies and technology delivery specialists with experience coordinating network infrastructure refresh programmes for NHS or similarly complex organisations.

The procurement has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Max20 Project Solutions Limited on 30 April 2026 for £73,600 excluding any other amounts stated in the procurement. The contract period runs from 1 May 2026 to 31 October 2026. The tender submission deadline was 30 April 2026 at 12:00. The tender is recorded as complete, with the successful supplier holding an active award. The opportunity was assessed through the framework call-off route; the available procurement information identifies the selected supplier and agreed value but does not set out a separate price or quality weighting.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for external project management support within The Christie NHS Foundation Trust’s network refresh activity. Suppliers seeking comparable future work would need credible capability in planning and controlling network infrastructure change, coordinating technical suppliers and internal stakeholders, managing dependencies, risks, reporting and delivery milestones, and maintaining governance in a healthcare environment. Relevant experience of NHS technology programmes or other complex, service-critical organisations would strengthen a supplier’s position. Competitors would also need access to the applicable framework route, since this requirement was purchased as a framework call-off. The buyer’s decision shows that a specialist project management SME can deliver this type of assignment.
