Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust bought replacement chairs for waiting areas in its radiotherapy department (Department 39). This is a furniture supply requirement, specifically chairs, for the department at the Trust’s site on Wilmslow Road in Manchester. The listed delivery location is Manchester, postcode M20 4BX. The purchase is focused on replacing seating in a clinical waiting area rather than providing wider healthcare services or general hospital furnishings.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to H. Jenkinson & Company Limited on 23 September 2026. The awarded value was £37,969.28. The contract period runs from 22 September to 22 October 2026. The Trust used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 21 September 2026 at 12:00. This was a single goods requirement; the available evaluation information does not set out award criteria. The procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, although the selected supplier is identified as an SME.

For suppliers of commercial or healthcare seating, this award demonstrates demand from The Christie NHS Foundation Trust for replacement chairs in a radiotherapy waiting area. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to supply suitable waiting-area chairs and deliver them to a hospital site in Manchester. The selected provider was an SME, showing that a smaller supplier secured this purchase despite the procurement being marked unsuitable for SMEs. The route used was a framework call-off, so relevant suppliers would need access to an appropriate framework to compete through the same route. The requirement indicates a focused furniture supply opportunity, rather than a broad healthcare service or whole-hospital furnishing project.
