UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust procured Patient Information Center iX (PIC iX) hardware: an ExpandLayer 2 network switch and network switch accessories. The equipment is for the Trust’s Proton department in Manchester, where the same model is already in use. This is a network equipment purchase for a specific clinical department, rather than a wider network infrastructure or managed services contract.

The procurement is complete and Philips Electronics UK Limited was selected as supplier. The Trust used a below-threshold direct award without competition. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026 and ran from 6 August to 6 September 2026. Its value was £11,830.08 excluding VAT (£14,196.10 including VAT). The award record does not state a separate award date or award value.

This purchase demonstrates demand from The Christie for network equipment that matches the model already used in its Proton department. For a future requirement of this kind, suppliers would be better placed if they can provide the specified PIC iX hardware and accessories and demonstrate compatibility with the department’s existing equipment. The purchase was made directly without competition, so it also shows the route used for this particular below-threshold requirement.
