UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust commissioned design services for modifications to its steam main, including design work relating to the NPD steam pipe. The requirement is for pipeline design rather than installation or construction. The Christie is based in Manchester, and the procurement is associated with the Trust’s facilities there. This is specialist engineering design work for a healthcare organisation’s steam infrastructure, relevant to firms experienced in pipeline and steam-system design. The published scope describes a steam main modification and NPD steam pipe design, without further breakdown of design deliverables or locations.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Christie NHS Foundation Trust awarded the work to Vital Energi Solutions Limited through a direct award below the competitive threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 20 August 2026 and runs from 27 August to 27 October 2026. Its value is £28,984.70 excluding VAT (£34,781.64 including VAT). The requirement was treated as a single lot, now complete. The award covers pipeline-design services. The published process details do not set out an evaluation method or participation requirements; the award was made without a competitive procedure.

For engineering consultancies and energy-services businesses, this award shows The Christie’s demand for specialist steam-pipeline design to support modifications to its steam main and NPD pipework. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in designing modifications to live or operational steam infrastructure and producing pipeline designs suitable for a healthcare estate. The work is a focused, short-duration design commission rather than a large construction package, so relevant technical expertise and the ability to deliver a defined design assignment are more pertinent than broad construction capacity. Vital Energi Solutions Limited was selected for this requirement. Similar work at this buyer would suit suppliers able to demonstrate directly relevant steam-system and pipeline-design experience.
