Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust procured infrastructure project management services for delivery in Manchester. The work is described as an Infrastructure Project Manager requirement and sits within IT consultancy and support services. The Trust is the buying organisation. This is a professional services requirement centred on infrastructure project management rather than the purchase of equipment or construction works.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to GRAVITAS RECRUITMENT GROUP LIMITED. The award date was 4 October 2026, and the contract period runs from 5 October to 31 December 2026. The awarded contract value is £35,075. The Trust used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The original submission deadline was 3 October 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It was evaluated through the framework call-off process; no separate award criteria are stated.

This award shows demand from The Christie NHS Foundation Trust for short-term infrastructure project management support, sourced through a framework call-off. A supplier seeking to compete for a similar requirement would need to provide an infrastructure project manager able to take responsibility for project delivery in an NHS trust environment. Recruitment and resourcing capability may be relevant, given that the selected supplier is a recruitment company, but the published requirement does not set out specific technical qualifications, accreditations or experience thresholds. The procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs, indicating that this scale of work was considered accessible to smaller businesses. Credible competitors should be able to supply suitably experienced project management capacity and participate through an applicable framework.
