UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust procured an upgrade to the building management system (BMS) outstations serving its MR Linac. The work covered outstations 122, 123, 124, 125 and 127, upgrading them to Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure system. This is a specialist building controls and instrumentation requirement, combining control equipment with electrical and mechanical building systems maintenance. The buyer is The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, based in Manchester, and the equipment is associated with its MR Linac there. The requirement was described as urgent. The scope is focused on upgrading the five named BMS outstations rather than supplying a general building management system across the Trust.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Schneider Electric Limited through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. There was one lot. The contract was signed on 30 August 2026 and runs from 31 August to 31 December 2026. Its value is £23,476 excluding VAT (£28,171.20 including VAT). The award is active and the contract is recorded as active. The award record identifies building systems maintenance and instrumentation and control equipment as the relevant work, but gives no further evaluation basis. The award date is not recorded separately from the contract signature date.

For suppliers assessing this buyer’s future requirements, the award indicates demand for targeted upgrades to specialist building management controls supporting clinical equipment, rather than a broad estate-wide controls replacement. A credible competitor would need practical capability to update and integrate BMS outstations with EcoStruxure, alongside relevant instrumentation and control equipment expertise and the ability to work on electrical and mechanical building systems. The urgency attached to the requirement suggests that responsiveness and capacity to deliver focused upgrades are commercially relevant. Schneider Electric was selected through a direct award without competition, so this outcome does not establish how the Trust would evaluate suppliers in a competed procurement. Suppliers with relevant controls expertise and experience working around specialist clinical facilities would be best placed to respond to a comparable requirement from The Christie.
