Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust procured fire-alarm systems for proposed works at Kinnaird House. This is a goods requirement, focused on supplying the equipment rather than a separately described construction or maintenance service. The buying organisation is The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, based on Wilmslow Road in Manchester. The requirement relates to the Trust’s Kinnaird House site and its fire-safety infrastructure. The procurement’s title identifies the work as “Kinnaird House Proposed Work”, while the published description gives no further technical breakdown of the fire-alarm equipment, installation scope or performance specification. Businesses supplying fire-alarm systems to NHS or comparable healthcare estates are the most directly relevant potential competitors for this type of requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold direct procedure without competition. Schneider Electric Limited was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The award was made on 15 May 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 15 May 2026 to 14 May 2027. Its value is £17,117.43 excluding VAT, or £20,540.92 including VAT. The award remains active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies fire-alarm systems as the awarded goods. The process therefore concluded with a direct award rather than a competitive tender, and Schneider Electric Limited is the incumbent supplier for this requirement.

This outcome indicates a defined requirement for fire-alarm systems within The Christie NHS Foundation Trust’s estate, at a scale suited to a specialist equipment supplier rather than a major capital programme. A credible competitor for similar work would need proven capability in fire-alarm systems, the capacity to supply a healthcare organisation, and the operational reliability expected for safety-critical building equipment. Schneider Electric Limited is recorded as a large supplier, showing that the buyer has used an established, substantial provider for this requirement. Businesses seeking comparable work should understand the Trust’s estate needs, its direct below-threshold purchasing route and the evidence needed to demonstrate dependable supply and relevant delivery experience.
