Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust commissioned a hepatology navigator service for patients requiring six-monthly ultrasound attendance. The role is designed to facilitate and support attendance at these recurring appointments, as part of hepatology care. It is a healthcare support and human resources management consultancy service, classified under CPV 79414000. The buying organisation is The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, based on Wilmslow Road in Manchester. The work is connected with Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, which was selected to provide the service. This requirement is therefore relevant to NHS organisations, healthcare providers and specialist workforce or clinical support organisations able to supply a dedicated hepatology navigation function within the Manchester health system.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Christie NHS Foundation Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition. One award was made to Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust. The contract was signed on 2 June 2026 and runs from 3 June 2026 to 2 June 2027. Its value is £34,800 including on-costs, for one whole-time-equivalent role at NHS Agenda for Change Band 3. The requirement was evaluated through a non-competitive below-threshold route rather than an open tender. The published outcome identifies one service award and an active contract for the hepatology navigator role supporting six-monthly ultrasound attendance.

For a supplier assessing future demand from The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, this procurement demonstrates a defined need for patient-navigation support within hepatology. A credible competitor would need to provide a dedicated whole-time-equivalent resource at NHS Band 3 scale, with the practical capability to help patients attend scheduled six-monthly ultrasound appointments. Relevant strengths would include experience supporting NHS or hospital pathways, communicating with patients, coordinating recurring diagnostic appointments and working reliably across connected NHS organisations in Manchester. Providers with healthcare staffing, clinical administration, patient engagement or care-coordination capability may be well placed, provided they can demonstrate dependable delivery of a focused hepatology support service rather than general staffing alone.
