UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust based in Manchester, United Kingdom, has completed a procurement process for the maintenance of a Pneumatic Tube system. The contract was awarded to Quirepace Limited, a supplier located in Fareham, United Kingdom, specialising in engineering services. The procurement method used was limited, under a below-threshold, limited competition framework. The contract, signed on 23 April 2025, has an active status and commenced on 1 June 2025, with an expected end date of 31 May 2026. This procurement falls under the services category in a public authority central government setting.

This tender presents growth opportunities primarily for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of delivering engineering services, particularly those with expertise in pneumatic systems maintenance. The ongoing requirement for monthly maintenance and call-outs provides a recurring business opportunity for companies looking to establish or strengthen their foothold within the healthcare infrastructure sector. Suppliers that can offer reliable and efficient engineering solutions and have experience in servicing complex systems would be well-suited to compete in similar tenders issued by healthcare institutions across the UK.
