UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust procured robotic surgery capacity from Stockport NHS Foundation Trust. The requirement is described as “Robotic Surgery Capacity” and covers the first instalment of capacity for surgical hospital services. This is a healthcare services procurement rather than a purchase of equipment or construction works. The Christie is based on Wilmslow Road in Manchester, while the selected provider is Stockport NHS Foundation Trust, based at Stepping Hill Hospital in Stockport. The arrangement concerns the provision of surgical capacity between two NHS foundation trusts, with the clinical service associated with robotic surgery. Businesses relevant to this requirement are healthcare organisations or specialist providers able to deliver robotic surgical hospital services within an NHS setting.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct procedure below the relevant threshold, without competition. One lot was completed and awarded to Stockport NHS Foundation Trust. The award is active and the contract was signed on 2 June 2026. The contract runs from 2 June 2026 to 1 June 2027. Its value is £50,000 excluding VAT, or £60,000 including VAT. The award concerns surgical hospital services and robotic surgery capacity. The recorded evaluation route was a direct award rather than a competitive tender, so the published process does not set out competing bids or comparative award criteria. This outcome shows the buyer used a below-threshold, non-competitive route for the first instalment of the requirement.

This procurement indicates demand for externally provided robotic surgery capacity and associated surgical hospital services within the NHS. Suppliers best placed for comparable work would be organisations with access to robotic surgery facilities, suitably qualified surgical and theatre teams, established clinical governance, and the ability to provide safe, regulated hospital services. Stockport NHS Foundation Trust’s selection demonstrates the relevance of an NHS trust or similarly established healthcare provider that can work with another NHS foundation trust and support service delivery at the required operational scale. Specialist independent hospitals, NHS organisations and healthcare groups with demonstrable robotic surgery capability could use this requirement as a benchmark for the clinical capacity, infrastructure and assurance arrangements needed when the buyer next considers comparable services.
