Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust bought specialist cleanroom consulting services for its aseptic services function. The requirement was a call-off order for cleanroom consulting, with the related work covering business and management consultancy and internal audit services. The buying organisation is The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, based on Wilmslow Road in Manchester. The service supports the Trust’s aseptic operations, so relevant expertise includes reviewing, advising on and assuring the management and operation of controlled cleanroom environments. This is a professional services requirement rather than a construction, equipment supply or routine cleaning contract. The awarded supplier was W2 Cleanroom Consulting Ltd, whose address is in Newcastle upon Tyne.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was used. W2 Cleanroom Consulting Ltd received the award for the cleanroom consulting and aseptic services requirement. The award was active and the contract was signed on 17 July 2026. The contract runs from 17 July 2026 to 16 July 2027. Its value is £30,000 excluding VAT, or £36,000 including VAT. The published award information identifies services as the procurement category, with business and management consultancy and internal audit as the relevant service classifications. The process used a limited procurement method rather than an open competition, and the tender reached complete status.

This procurement indicates demand from The Christie for specialist advice and assurance around aseptic-service cleanrooms. A credible future competitor would need practical cleanroom consultancy capability, together with a strong understanding of aseptic operations and the governance requirements of healthcare environments. Experience in business and management consultancy would be relevant, particularly where it supports operational improvement, documented controls and service assurance. Internal audit capability is also important, since the requirement included internal audit services rather than consultancy alone. Suppliers should therefore be able to combine technical cleanroom knowledge with structured review, evidence-based reporting and clear recommendations for a specialist NHS setting. Firms able to deliver this blend of cleanroom, aseptic-services and audit expertise would be best placed to compete when the requirement returns.
