UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust procured a subscription to SQL Clone, a database software product from Red Gate Software Limited. The requirement is for a 5 TB subscription, categorised as database software. The Trust is based in Manchester; the data does not identify a separate delivery location for this software subscription.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Red Gate Software Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 20 August 2026 and runs from 21 August 2026 to 20 August 2027. Its stated value is £28,935 excluding VAT, or £34,722 including VAT. The procurement comprised one lot, covering the SQL Clone subscription. The award information identifies the database software requirement; no further evaluation basis is recorded.

This award demonstrates demand at The Christie NHS Foundation Trust for database-cloning software delivered as a substantial 5 TB subscription. Suppliers competing for this buyer’s future requirement would need to provide SQL Clone or a suitable database software offering that meets the Trust’s needs at comparable scale, with the capability to supply and support a subscription. The selected supplier, Red Gate Software Limited, is a large software company, indicating that an established provider was chosen for this purchase. The route was a direct award without competition, so the award does not show that suppliers were assessed against published competitive criteria. Businesses with relevant database software products and the capacity to serve an NHS foundation trust are the closest fit for this specific requirement.
