UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust procured Oxford Nanopore Technologies consumables for its ONT Rapid CNS project. The requirement covers reagents, flow cells and library preparation kits, supporting laboratory work. The buyer is The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, based in Manchester; the contract covers supply to the Trust. The award classifies the requirement under laboratory services, although the described purchase is of consumables rather than a laboratory service. This is a focused requirement for suppliers able to provide products for Oxford Nanopore Technologies workflows, rather than a general laboratory equipment or testing-services contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Christie awarded the single lot directly, below the applicable threshold and without competition, to Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026, runs from 2 September to 1 October 2026, and is valued at £20,000 excluding VAT (£24,000 including VAT). No evaluation criteria are stated; the route was a direct award without competition. The selected supplier is a large organisation. The recorded award is active, and the contract is active.

For suppliers considering similar future requirements from The Christie, this award demonstrates demand for Oxford Nanopore Technologies consumables tied to the Trust’s Rapid CNS project. A credible competitor would need to source and supply the relevant reagents, flow cells and library preparation kits, and understand their role in an Oxford Nanopore workflow. The contract was a focused, short-term supply requirement rather than a broad laboratory services commission. The buyer used a direct award without competition for this below-threshold purchase, so suppliers should be prepared to establish a relevant supply relationship and demonstrate that they can meet the project’s specific consumables needs. The successful supplier was a large NHS foundation trust.
