Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust bought a hepatology navigation service to help patients attend six-monthly ultrasound appointments. The requirement involved employing a hepatology navigator at 1.0 whole-time equivalent, with the cost based on NHS Agenda for Change Band 3 pay and associated on-costs. This is a healthcare support and patient-coordination service, with a human resources management consultancy classification (CPV 79414000). The buyer is The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, based on Wilmslow Road in Manchester. The service supports hepatology patients and is delivered in connection with the Trust’s clinical pathway. The requirement was structured as a single service lot and has been completed as a procurement process.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS was selected as the supplier. The award was active and the contract was signed on 2 June 2026. The contract runs from 3 June 2026 to 2 June 2027. Its value is £34,800 gross, including on-costs, and it is below the applicable threshold. The contract covers the single lot for the hepatology navigator service. The published outcome records the selected supplier and the agreed contract value; the procurement data does not set out a comparative evaluation basis because the route used was a direct award without competition.

This procurement indicates demand from The Christie NHS Foundation Trust for a dedicated hepatology patient-navigation function linked to regular ultrasound attendance. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide appropriately experienced healthcare or integrated-care staff who can coordinate patients, support attendance and work reliably within a clinical pathway. Relevant strengths include understanding hepatology services, patient communication, appointment tracking, multidisciplinary NHS working and the practical delivery of preventative or monitoring programmes. The requirement was sized around one full-time equivalent Band 3 role, so suppliers would need the capacity to recruit, manage or supply an individual resource at that level, while meeting NHS governance, safeguarding, confidentiality and service-quality expectations. Experience of working with NHS trusts or integrated care organisations would support credibility.
