Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust commissioned Phase 2 of the Greater Manchester Aseptic Transformation. The work is project management consultancy supporting the delivery of Phase 1 insights on aseptic services across Greater Manchester. It falls within the services category and is relevant to consultancies with experience of healthcare transformation, aseptic or pharmacy services, and translating diagnostic findings into practical service improvements. The stated delivery location is Manchester, at the Trust’s Wilmslow Road address. The buying organisation is The Christie NHS Foundation Trust. The requirement is focused on a defined second phase of transformation rather than general consultancy, so suppliers would need to understand the operational and strategic issues affecting aseptic services and work with NHS stakeholders to develop the next stage of delivery.

The procurement has been completed and awarded to NHS Shared Business Services Limited. The award date was 10 November 2025, for £63,152 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 1 December 2025 to 31 March 2026. It was conducted as a selective procedure and awarded as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 10 November 2025 at 12:00 UTC. The award is recorded as active. The opportunity was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. There were no lots, multiple awards or separate contract values recorded; the single award covers the Phase 2 aseptic transformation consultancy requirement.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear view of the type of organisation and capability needed for this buyer’s aseptic transformation work. A credible competitor would need to provide project management consultancy that can operate in an NHS environment, understand aseptic services, and turn earlier service insights into an implementable transformation phase. Experience coordinating complex healthcare stakeholders, analysing operational services, shaping delivery plans and managing change would be commercially relevant. The selected supplier’s position as a large NHS services organisation also indicates that scale, public-sector delivery experience and the ability to work within a framework call-off route matter. Businesses tracking this buyer should be able to evidence comparable healthcare transformation outcomes rather than offer broad, undifferentiated management consultancy.
