Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, located in Manchester, has recently completed a procurement process for 'Business Case Development Services' under the classification of business development consultancy services. This process falls under the services industry category and was conducted using a direct procurement method below threshold, without competition. The contract was awarded to PRIVATE PUBLIC LTD, a large London-based enterprise, on 5 August 2026, marking the start of a contract period ending on 4 November 2026. The total contract value is £66,000, with a focus on consultancy services to enhance business case development for the Trust, highlighting its role as a public authority within central government.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for large-scale consultancies specialising in business development services. The direct procurement method indicates that firms with established reputations and existing frameworks with public sector organisations may be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts in the future. Companies with expertise in consultancy and business case development, especially those based in the UK, could leverage such opportunities to expand their service offerings to healthcare institutions and other public sector entities requiring strategic business development expertise.
