UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust bought business case development services, classified as business development consultancy services. The work is for the Trust, based on Wilmslow Road in Manchester, and relates to developing business cases rather than delivering construction, equipment or clinical services. The requirement was handled as a single service package. The buyer is a public authority and NHS foundation trust. The selected provider was PRIVATE PUBLIC LTD, a large UK supplier headquartered in London. The service is relevant to consultancies that advise public bodies on business cases, strategic development, options appraisal and associated commercial or investment planning. It may suit firms with established public-sector consulting teams able to work with an NHS organisation and produce formal business case outputs.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The Christie NHS Foundation Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. PRIVATE PUBLIC LTD was awarded the single service package on 5 August 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and runs from 5 August 2026 to 4 November 2026. Its value is £55,000 excluding VAT and £66,000 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement record identifies the service as business development consultancy. No competitive tender or detailed award weighting is recorded for this direct award. The outcome therefore shows a completed, short-term consultancy engagement commissioned directly by the Trust.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award is a useful indicator of the Trust’s demand for specialist business case development support. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need consultants who can structure and write robust business cases, turn complex information into clear recommendations, and support public-sector decision-making. Relevant capability is likely to include strategic analysis, financial and commercial assessment, options appraisal, benefits and risk analysis, and concise communication for senior stakeholders. Experience of working with NHS organisations or other public authorities would help demonstrate understanding of governance, approvals and public value. The successful supplier’s scale also indicates that the buyer accepted a substantial consultancy provider for this assignment, rather than a purely individual advisory service.
