UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust commissioned business-to-business public relations agency services for a new Greater Manchester Cancer Alliance campaign. The work is intended to engage employers, supporting communication and campaign activity aimed at this audience. The service is categorised as public relations consultancy. The buyer is The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, based on Wilmslow Road in Manchester. Delivery is associated with the Greater Manchester Cancer Alliance campaign and employer engagement, making this relevant to agencies with experience of strategic communications, business audiences, public-sector or healthcare campaigns, and cancer or wider health messaging. The requirement is for professional services rather than goods, construction or clinical treatment, and is focused on campaign support for employer engagement.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a below-threshold procedure, with the specific method recorded as unknown, and comprised one completed lot. BrandXYZ was awarded the contract on 30 June 2026. The contract was signed on 30 June 2026 and is active from 1 July 2026 to 1 October 2026. Its value is £36,145 excluding VAT, or £43,374 including VAT. The award covers public relations consultancy services for the single lot. The contracting process was evaluated as a service procurement, but the published outcome does not set out award criteria or weightings. The buyer is The Christie NHS Foundation Trust.

This award provides a clear benchmark for agencies targeting healthcare communications and employer-facing public relations work for NHS organisations. A credible competitor would need to show the ability to develop and deliver a focused campaign for a regional cancer alliance, communicate effectively with employers, and translate healthcare objectives into business-to-business messaging. Relevant strengths include public relations consultancy, campaign planning, stakeholder engagement, media and content work, and understanding of sensitive health communications. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist agency rather than only a large communications group. Agencies with comparable NHS, cancer, public-sector or employer-engagement experience would be well placed when this type of requirement returns.
