Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust procured remedial works to install new cable ducts between existing manhole inspection pits. The purpose is to divert cabling around existing ducts that have collapsed or become blocked. This is a construction and civil engineering requirement focused on cable duct installation, classified under CPV 44322300. The works are delivered at The Christie NHS Foundation Trust’s site on Wilmslow Road, Manchester, M20 4BX, in the United Kingdom. The requirement is for a healthcare estate rather than general supply of ducting, so relevant businesses are contractors able to plan and carry out duct replacement or diversion works around existing underground infrastructure and inspection chambers. The buyer is The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, which uses the works to maintain or adapt its site’s cable infrastructure.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender value was stated as £29,007.96, while the active award to A Copeland Group Limited was £59,950. The award date was 30 July 2026. The awarded contract runs from 31 July 2026 to 11 October 2026. The contract was evaluated through the framework call-off route, and the available outcome identifies A Copeland Group Limited as the selected supplier. The tender submission deadline was 30 July 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was classified as works, with the scope covering remedial cable duct provision between existing manhole inspection pits. The award is active and relates to one supplier.

This award demonstrates demand from The Christie NHS Foundation Trust for specialist remedial work to underground cable routes on its Manchester estate. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need practical experience installing or diverting cable ducts between existing manhole inspection pits, including working around collapsed or blocked ducts. Relevant capability includes diagnosing access and routing constraints, coordinating excavation and duct installation, and completing remedial works within an operational healthcare site. The procurement was made through a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking comparable work should understand framework-based purchasing and the requirements for delivering against an established call-off. The selected supplier was identified as an SME, showing that a smaller contractor can be appointed where it has the necessary specialist works capability and delivery capacity.
