Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust purchased Fibreplast 48cm HD+ shoulder, base-of-support, 3.2mm standard perforation, reference RT-1882KBOS-E. This is a medical equipment and dressing supply requirement, rather than a construction or professional services contract. The buyer is an NHS foundation trust based on Wilmslow Road in Manchester. The named product is the central requirement and the procurement covers one lot. Businesses supplying specialist medical equipment, dressings or comparable clinical consumables are the most relevant potential competitors. The purchase appears focused on obtaining a specific Fibreplast product rather than commissioning a broad range of healthcare goods or services. The supplier identified for the requirement is Oncology Imaging Systems Limited.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. Oncology Imaging Systems Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 4 July 2026 and is active for the period 5 July to 4 August 2026. Its value is £13,018.80 excluding VAT, or £15,622.56 including VAT. The tender status is complete and the award is active. The published information records a single lot covering the Fibreplast requirement. As this was a direct award without competition, the process was not evaluated through an open tender competition. The contract therefore records the completed outcome and the commercial scale of this specific purchase, rather than an opportunity for further submissions.

For a competing supplier, this procurement demonstrates demand from The Christie for a defined, specialist medical equipment or dressing product rather than a general catalogue purchase. A credible future supplier would need to source and supply the specified Fibreplast configuration, understand clinical consumables and medical equipment requirements, and provide reliable fulfilment to an NHS foundation trust in Manchester. The selected supplier is a large organisation, indicating that the buyer accepted a supplier with established capacity for this type of requirement. Relevant businesses should therefore assess their product match, NHS or healthcare supply experience, operational capacity and ability to handle a direct, below-threshold purchasing route for a tightly specified item.
