UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust commissioned operational improvements for surveillance endoscopy services at Tameside. The work was intended to improve operational performance and was supported by funding from the Greater Manchester Cancer Alliance. Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS Trust was the organisation delivering the health service work. The procurement concerns service improvement in a clinical endoscopy setting, rather than the supply of equipment or construction. Delivery was associated with Tameside, with the provider based at Tameside General Hospital in Ashton-under-Lyne. The requirement links a specialist NHS trust buyer with a local integrated care trust to improve how surveillance endoscopy services operate.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Christie awarded the work directly to Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS Trust, using a below-threshold procedure without competition. The contract was signed on 10 August 2026 and ran from 10 August to 10 September 2026. Its value was £27,000 excluding VAT (£34,200 including VAT). One lot covered the service requirement. The procurement was for health services and related to operational improvements in surveillance endoscopy at Tameside. The available procurement details do not set out separate scored evaluation criteria; the recorded route was a direct award without competition. The selected supplier is a large NHS provider, and the contract remains active in the published outcome.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible provider would need practical experience improving operational performance in NHS surveillance endoscopy, together with the clinical-service capacity to deliver changes in a working hospital setting. The selected organisation was an integrated care NHS trust, indicating that familiarity with NHS service delivery and coordination across clinical teams is relevant to this buyer’s requirement. Suppliers should be able to show how their work can support endoscopy operations and cancer-related surveillance services, rather than offering general health consultancy without a clear connection to this service. The completed award also shows that The Christie has used a direct, below-threshold route for this focused improvement requirement and that delivery was entrusted to another NHS provider.
