UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust procured Gov Notify service usage for the 2025–2026 service requirement. This is an application service provider service, covering access to or use of the Gov Notify platform rather than physical goods, construction or general consultancy. The buying organisation is The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, based on Wilmslow Road in Manchester. The service supports the Trust’s organisational need for Gov Notify usage. The requirement sits within the information technology and communications services market, particularly hosted application services. The selected provider is the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology, indicating that the requirement is for a government-provided digital messaging service rather than a conventional privately supplied software product.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct procedure below the applicable threshold, without competition. It comprised one completed lot. The Department for Science, Innovation & Technology was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 and runs from 2 July 2026 to 1 July 2027. Its value is £42,175.38 excluding VAT, or £50,610.46 including VAT. The contract is recorded as active. The award relates to application service provider services under CPV 72416000. The available information records a direct, non-competitive route rather than a scored competition, so there is no competitive evaluation basis to compare between bidders.

This award is relevant to suppliers that understand Gov Notify and can support public-sector use of a hosted application service. The selected provider is a large government department, so credible competitors for a future requirement would need dependable access to the service, strong knowledge of its operating model and the ability to support an NHS organisation’s usage reliably. Experience serving public bodies, handling service administration and maintaining continuity for digital communications would strengthen a supplier’s position. The requirement demonstrates a defined NHS demand for Gov Notify usage at a modest single-contract scale. Businesses monitoring The Christie’s technology purchasing should treat this as evidence of demand for specialist application-service provision rather than broad IT outsourcing.
