UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust is buying wigs and accessories, including the associated supply and service for patients. This is a goods requirement focused on providing wigs and related items to patients receiving care from the Trust. Delivery is required in the United Kingdom. The contracting authority is The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, based in Manchester. Suppliers whose business covers the provision of wigs, wig accessories and patient-facing supply services should consider this opportunity. The requirement is presented as a single package covering the full scope, rather than separate product categories. It may suit organisations able to combine product supply with responsive service for individual patient needs across the required delivery area.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The enquiry deadline was 16 September 2026 at 16:00, and the tender submission deadline was 28 September 2026 at 12:00. Offers are to be submitted electronically through Atamis, in English. The contract is expected to run from 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2029, with two optional 12-month extensions available and a maximum end date of 31 January 2031. The estimated value is £200,000 excluding VAT, or £240,000 including VAT. The award decision is due by 4 December 2026. Evaluation is weighted 70% to quality and 30% to price.

This opportunity suits suppliers with established capability in wigs and accessories and experience of supplying and servicing patients. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so it is not restricted to large national contractors. Businesses should be able to provide the required products reliably, support patients appropriately and maintain consistent service quality throughout the contract. The evaluation places substantially greater emphasis on quality than price, favouring suppliers that can demonstrate strong product standards, dependable fulfilment and a well-developed patient service. It may also suit a specialist supplier, or a provider with suitable delivery and service capacity across the United Kingdom.
