Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust commissioned works at its Brachytherapy Sealed Sources facility in Manchester. The requirement was to replace the existing intruder alarm system, replace all existing cabling and commission the replacement system onto Security Expert. This is a specialist security installation project covering alarm systems and burglar-alarm installation works. The buyer is The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, a public healthcare organisation based on Wilmslow Road in Manchester. The work relates specifically to the security infrastructure supporting the Trust’s Brachytherapy Sealed Sources operation, so relevant suppliers should be able to work in a healthcare environment and coordinate replacement, installation and system commissioning as one requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Schneider Electric Limited. It used a below-threshold direct award without competition. The contract was signed on 27 May 2026 and runs from 27 May 2026 to 26 May 2027. Its value is £13,572.29 excluding VAT, or £16,286.75 including VAT. The award covers one lot and one supplier. The published outcome records Schneider Electric Limited as the active supplier, while the overall tender is complete. The procurement was evaluated through the buyer’s direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, so no competitive scoring basis is recorded. This outcome identifies the buyer’s chosen route for this requirement and the scale of the resulting contract.

This procurement is relevant to security systems integrators and electrical contractors with practical experience replacing intruder alarms, renewing associated cabling and commissioning systems onto Schneider Electric’s Security Expert platform. A credible competitor for similar work would need to demonstrate the technical ability to manage the full installation lifecycle, from removal or replacement of existing infrastructure through to configuration, testing and handover. Experience working safely around specialist healthcare or clinical facilities would be commercially relevant, particularly where security systems support sensitive operational areas such as brachytherapy services. The award also shows that The Christie NHS Foundation Trust buys a focused, single-site security works package through a direct-award route, making supplier familiarity with the buyer’s estate and the specified platform potentially important when comparable requirements return.
