UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust bought three ZiFix Abdominal/Thoracic Motion Control Systems for use in its oncology imaging services. These are medical equipment or consumable products used to control abdominal and thoracic motion during imaging, supporting accurate clinical imaging and treatment planning. The buyer is based on Wilmslow Road, Manchester, and the work is associated with its services there. The procurement is for goods rather than construction or professional services. The requirement was for a specific branded system, so businesses active in medical imaging equipment, radiotherapy support equipment, motion-management systems or related clinical consumables are the most relevant comparators. The named supplier is Oncology Imaging Systems, based in East Sussex.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. The contract was awarded to Oncology Imaging Systems on 26 May 2026. Its gross value is £15,266.88, with a net value of £12,722.40. The contract was signed on 26 May 2026 and ran from 26 May 2026 to 26 June 2026. It covered one completed lot for the supply of three ZiFix Abdominal/Thoracic Motion Control Systems. The awarded goods were classified as medical consumables. The award is active and the contract is active. As this was a direct award without competition, the published process did not involve competitive tender evaluation or multiple suppliers.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement at The Christie for abdominal and thoracic motion-control systems used in oncology imaging. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable future requirements would need a credible ability to supply the ZiFix system or an equivalent product accepted by the clinical and technical specification. Relevant businesses are likely to have specialist knowledge of motion-management equipment, medical imaging workflows and clinical consumables, together with the commercial arrangements needed to supply an NHS foundation trust. The buyer’s use of a direct below-threshold route also shows that product specificity and an established supplier relationship can be important in this type of purchase. Competitors should therefore be able to evidence product suitability, reliable supply and NHS-facing delivery capability.
