UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust procured an annual charge for the Trac.Jobs recruitment platform. This is a recruitment technology requirement rather than the purchase of medical equipment, despite the associated classification. The platform supports the Trust’s recruitment activity, and the buying organisation is based on Wilmslow Road in Manchester. The awarded supplier is Civica UK Ltd, a large private-sector technology provider. The requirement is therefore relevant to businesses that provide recruitment platforms, hosted recruitment software or associated platform access and support for NHS organisations. Suppliers operating in public-sector recruitment technology, particularly those able to support a large healthcare employer’s ongoing use of a named platform, are the closest commercial comparators for this requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Civica UK Ltd. It used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 11 June 2026 and runs from 12 June 2026 to 11 June 2027. Its value is £28,980 excluding VAT, or £34,776 including VAT. The contract is active. The procurement was for one requirement, and the award covers the full requirement. The contracting route indicates a restricted, competitive process involving a limited number of suppliers rather than an open market exercise. The recorded classification is medical equipment, although the stated requirement and contract title identify the purchase as an annual charge for the Trac.Jobs recruitment platform.

This award provides a clear demand signal for recruitment-platform services within an NHS foundation trust. A competitor seeking comparable work would need to provide, or be able to support, the Trac.Jobs recruitment platform and offer a dependable annual commercial service for a healthcare organisation. Relevant strengths include experience supplying recruitment technology to public-sector or NHS customers, platform availability and user support, contract administration for recurring charges, and the operational capacity to maintain service throughout the agreement. Civica UK Ltd’s selection shows that established technology suppliers are competing for this type of requirement. Businesses with a closely comparable recruitment-software proposition can use this buyer and requirement as a focused benchmark for future market engagement.
