Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust commissioned operational-performance improvements for surveillance endoscopy at Bolton NHS Foundation Trust. The work is a health service intended to support improved operational performance in surveillance endoscopy at Bolton. Funding came from the Greater Manchester Cancer Alliance. The buyer is The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, while Bolton NHS Foundation Trust is the named provider and the location associated with the service. This is a service requirement rather than a purchase of goods or construction work.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Christie awarded the single-lot contract directly to Bolton NHS Foundation Trust, without competition, using a below-threshold route. The award is recorded as active; the contract was signed on 9 August 2026 and runs from 10 August to 10 September 2026. Its value is £16,000 excluding VAT (£19,200 including VAT). The requirement was described as improvements in operational performance for surveillance endoscopy in Bolton, supported by Greater Manchester Cancer Alliance funding. No evaluation criteria are stated.

This award shows demand from The Christie NHS Foundation Trust for targeted operational-performance support in surveillance endoscopy at Bolton NHS Foundation Trust, funded through the Greater Manchester Cancer Alliance. A supplier seeking to compete for a comparable requirement from this buyer would need credible health-service capability and relevant experience improving operational performance in surveillance endoscopy, with the capacity to deliver focused support in a hospital setting. Bolton NHS Foundation Trust was selected through a direct, below-threshold award without competition, so the outcome does not establish a competitive scoring model or published technical requirements. The requirement was a short, focused service rather than a large-scale supply or works contract.
