Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust procured specialist electrical maintenance and installation services for the replacement of capacitors and fans on harmonic filters in its Proton operation. The requirement covers repair and maintenance of electrical distribution equipment, together with the installation of electrical and mechanical equipment. The work is associated with The Christie’s site on Wilmslow Road in Manchester. This is a focused technical requirement rather than a general facilities-maintenance contract: relevant suppliers would need to understand harmonic-filter equipment and the associated electrical systems, and to carry out component replacement work in a healthcare environment. The buyer is The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, an NHS public authority. The procurement was structured as a single requirement covering the replacement works.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. The single lot was completed, and the active award went to Schneider Electric Limited. The contract was signed on 20 July 2026 and ran from 20 July 2026 to 20 August 2026. Its value was £14,644 excluding VAT, or £17,572.80 including VAT. The contract is recorded as active. The evaluation route was direct award rather than an open or competitive tender, so there was no competitive assessment of multiple bids for this requirement. The outcome provides a clear reference point for the buyer’s purchasing route, the specialist scope and the scale of the completed replacement work.

This requirement is most relevant to established electrical engineering and industrial equipment specialists with practical experience maintaining electrical distribution systems and installing electrical and mechanical components. Credible competitors for a future requirement of this type would need the technical ability to work on harmonic filters, diagnose or replace capacitors and fans, and complete installation safely and reliably in a Proton healthcare setting. Experience of planned maintenance, fault finding, shutdown coordination and controlled site work would strengthen a supplier’s position, provided it can be evidenced against the buyer’s technical requirements. The selected supplier was a large electrical technology business, indicating that the buyer accepted a provider with substantial specialist capability and capacity for this narrowly defined equipment-replacement service.
