Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust procured a healthcare staffing service to employ a hepatology nurse in support of its stated objectives. The requirement falls within human resources management consultancy services and concerns the provision of specialist nursing capacity rather than goods, construction or general facilities management. The buyer is The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, based on Wilmslow Road in Manchester. The contracted service is associated with the Trust’s healthcare activity and was delivered through a relationship with Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS. Businesses relevant to this requirement include NHS organisations, healthcare staffing providers and specialist recruitment or workforce consultancy firms able to supply hepatology nursing expertise for a public healthcare setting.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award below the threshold, without competition. It comprised one lot. The contract was signed on 3 June 2026 and runs from 4 June 2026 to 3 June 2027. The award is active and the contract is active. The contract value is £60,000 gross, in GBP. Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS was awarded the contract. The requirement was evaluated and progressed as a direct, below-threshold award rather than through an open tender. The procurement was conducted by The Christie NHS Foundation Trust under the legal basis identified as 2023/54.

This procurement demonstrates demand from The Christie NHS Foundation Trust for externally provided specialist hepatology nursing capacity. A credible future supplier would need to be able to identify, employ or provide a suitably experienced hepatology nurse and manage the associated workforce arrangement for an NHS organisation. Relevant capability is therefore centred on specialist clinical recruitment, healthcare staffing or workforce consultancy, with practical understanding of NHS service environments and the ability to support delivery through an integrated care relationship. The awarded supplier was another NHS organisation, showing that public-sector healthcare bodies may compete with commercial providers for this type of requirement. Firms with reliable access to specialist nursing professionals and experience supplying NHS customers would be best placed to pursue similar demand from this buyer.
