UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust commissioned an Advanced Job Planning Diagnostic Assessment. This is a consultancy service focused on evaluating the Trust’s advanced job planning arrangements. The requirement is associated with evaluation consultancy services (CPV 79419000). The buying organisation is The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, based on Wilmslow Road in Manchester. The work relates to the Trust’s job planning requirements and is delivered for this NHS foundation trust. The selected provider, SARD JV Ltd, is based in London and is identified as a large supplier. The requirement is a focused diagnostic and assessment assignment rather than the supply of goods, construction work or a general staffing service. Businesses considering comparable work would need to operate in evaluation consultancy and understand advanced job planning assessments for a healthcare organisation.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a direct procedure below the applicable threshold, without competition, and the single lot is complete. SARD JV Ltd was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 13 May 2026 and runs from 14 May 2026 to 25 June 2026. Its value is £19,200 excluding VAT, or £23,040 including VAT. The contract is active. The procurement was for services and the awarded item is evaluation consultancy services. The published outcome identifies the requirement as the SARD Advanced Job Planning Diagnostic Assessment. The process did not involve a competitive tender, so suppliers were not evaluated through an open bidding exercise for this assignment. The award and contract relate to one supplier and one requirement.

This procurement is evidence that The Christie NHS Foundation Trust purchases specialist consultancy to assess advanced job planning. It is most relevant to providers whose core capability is evaluation consultancy and diagnostic assessment, particularly in relation to advanced job planning within an NHS or comparable healthcare setting. A credible future competitor would need to show that it can understand a healthcare organisation’s job planning arrangements, conduct a structured diagnostic assessment and turn its findings into useful professional advice. The requirement suits an established consultancy with sufficient organisational capacity to deliver a focused assignment for a large NHS foundation trust. Firms offering broader management consultancy without demonstrable expertise in job planning diagnostics are less closely aligned with this buyer’s stated requirement.
