UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust bought medical gases through a call-off order for use in its healthcare services. The requirement is classified as goods and covers medical gases; the published description does not identify gas types, quantities or delivery locations. The buyer is The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, based in Manchester. BOC Limited was selected to supply the order. This is a focused supply requirement for medical gases rather than a wider works or service contract. Suppliers considering comparable requirements from this trust should assess their ability to provide medical gases for clinical use and meet the trust’s supply needs.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Christie awarded the order to BOC Limited through a direct award below the competition threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 10 August 2026 and ran from 10 August to 10 September 2026. Its value was £40,000 excluding VAT (£48,000 including VAT). There was one lot, which is complete. The award record identifies medical gases as the goods supplied, but does not set out an evaluation basis or additional eligibility conditions. This was a short-term call-off order, rather than a competed tender in which suppliers were assessed against published award criteria.

For suppliers who did not win, this award confirms that The Christie NHS Foundation Trust has bought medical gases through a direct call-off route. A credible competitor for comparable demand would need to supply medical gases suitable for healthcare use and demonstrate the operational ability to fulfil a focused order for a hospital trust. The selected supplier, BOC Limited, is a large supplier, providing an indication of the incumbent’s scale; the procurement itself does not establish that only large businesses can meet the requirement. This award provides no evidence of particular technical specifications, accreditations or evaluation preferences, so suppliers should judge their fit against the gas products and delivery capability required for any future comparable order from this buyer.
