Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust commissioned a hepatology navigator service to support patients in attending ultrasound appointments every six months. The role is costed at one full-time equivalent NHS Agenda for Change Band 3 post, including employment on-costs. This is a healthcare support and patient-navigation service, with an associated classification for human resources management consultancy services. The work is for The Christie NHS Foundation Trust and is based in Manchester. The requirement centres on coordinating or facilitating attendance for people undergoing hepatology-related monitoring, rather than supplying ultrasound equipment or providing the scans themselves. It therefore suits organisations able to provide healthcare navigation, patient support or appropriately managed healthcare staffing services within an NHS setting.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition as a below-threshold contract. 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. Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust was awarded the contract as the supplier. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement was structured as one completed lot. The procurement used a direct award route rather than an open tender, so the outcome reflects a single supplier selection. The published requirement describes the service as one 1.0 full-time equivalent Band 3 hepatology navigator post supporting attendance at six-monthly ultrasound appointments.

This procurement shows demand from The Christie NHS Foundation Trust for a dedicated hepatology patient-navigation function delivered at NHS Band 3 level. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate the ability to provide or manage an appropriately skilled healthcare navigator, support patients consistently through planned monitoring pathways, and improve attendance at recurring ultrasound appointments. Relevant experience in hepatology, outpatient coordination, patient communications and NHS service delivery would strengthen a supplier’s position. Organisations offering managed healthcare staffing or human resources consultancy may also be well placed, provided they can show practical capability in patient-facing navigation rather than only general recruitment. The requirement is modest in staffing scale but depends on reliable delivery over a defined service period.
