UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust commissioned a hepatology navigator service to support patients in attending six-monthly ultrasound appointments. The role is costed at 1.0 whole-time equivalent at NHS Agenda for Change Band 3 and includes the associated employment on-costs. This is a healthcare support service with a patient-navigation and appointment-attendance focus, rather than a supply of equipment or construction work. The buyer is The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, based on Wilmslow Road in Manchester. The requirement is associated with the Trust’s hepatology services and involves helping patients complete their planned ultrasound monitoring pathway. Organisations with experience providing NHS support staff, patient navigation or related healthcare coordination would find the subject matter most relevant.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Stockport NHS Foundation Trust was selected as the supplier. The award was made on 2 June 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 3 June 2026 to 2 June 2027. Its value is £34,800 gross, including the stated employment on-costs. The procurement was treated as a services requirement and the contract covers one lot. The published description identifies the service as human resources management consultancy, with the practical requirement being a hepatology navigator employed at 1.0 whole-time equivalent and NHS Agenda for Change Band 3. The award record identifies Stockport NHS Foundation Trust as a large supplier.

This award indicates demand for a healthcare staffing or support service that combines hepatology knowledge with practical patient navigation. A credible future competitor would need to recruit, provide or manage a Band 3-level resource capable of helping patients attend scheduled six-monthly ultrasound appointments. Relevant strengths would include experience operating in NHS or hospital environments, coordinating clinical appointments, communicating effectively with patients and clinical teams, and maintaining reliable follow-up across a defined patient pathway. Providers of healthcare workforce services, NHS support staffing, human resources management consultancy or specialist patient-navigation services may be well placed, particularly where they can demonstrate dependable delivery of a single whole-time-equivalent role and familiarity with NHS employment arrangements and on-costs.
