UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust procured research services under the requirement titled “Dynamic Costs”. The work falls within CPV 73110000, covering research services, and relates to the trust’s requirement R130473. The buyer is The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, a public authority based on Wilmslow Road in Manchester. The selected supplier is The University of Manchester, also based in Manchester. This is therefore relevant to organisations that provide research services and can work with an NHS foundation trust on a defined research requirement. The published information identifies one completed lot and a service procurement rather than goods, construction or facilities work.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The contract was awarded to The University of Manchester through a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. One lot was completed. The contract was signed on 12 May 2026 and runs from 13 May 2026 to 25 June 2026. Its value is £32,900.28 excluding VAT and £39,480.34 including VAT. The contract is recorded as active. The selected supplier is The University of Manchester. The contracting information does not set out an award date or an evaluation weighting. This was not a competitive tender, so suppliers were not assessed through an open bidding process for this requirement.

This award provides a clear indication that The Christie NHS Foundation Trust buys defined research services from established academic providers. A credible future supplier would need demonstrable capability in research delivery, suitable staff and methods for producing reliable outputs, and the capacity to complete a short, focused commission. Experience of working with NHS organisations or university research partners would help demonstrate understanding of governance, evidence standards and collaborative delivery, although the published requirement does not state specific accreditations or mandatory qualifications. Organisations competing for similar work should be able to explain their research approach, manage the required activity efficiently and provide assurance on quality, confidentiality and delivery against an agreed scope.
