UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust funded a contribution to the Greater Manchester Procurement Collaborative for procurement consultancy services. The requirement is presented as a collaborative contribution, rather than a defined package of consultancy work or a list of deliverables. The Christie is the buying organisation, and Manchester is the location associated with the buyer. The awarded supplier, Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, is also based in Manchester. This procurement concerns the collaborative’s procurement activity, not general NHS clinical services or a broad consultancy appointment. Its stated purpose and named parties indicate a regional public-sector procurement collaboration involving NHS organisations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust. The contract was signed on 31 August 2026, with an award date not separately stated. Its recorded period runs from 1 September to 1 October 2026. The contract value is £15,325.22 excluding VAT, or £18,390.26 including VAT. The Christie used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. There was one lot, which is complete. The procurement was classified as a service, specifically procurement consultancy. No evaluation criteria are recorded; the contract was awarded without a competitive process.

For procurement consultancies and NHS organisations considering similar collaborative arrangements, this award is evidence that The Christie funds participation in the Greater Manchester Procurement Collaborative. A credible competitor would need to show a clear ability to contribute to collaborative procurement activity across NHS organisations, with relevant public-sector procurement expertise and the organisational capacity to work alongside a large NHS trust. The appointed supplier is Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, so the outcome demonstrates that an NHS trust itself can provide the relevant contribution. The requirement is framed as a contribution to a named regional collaborative, rather than a specified consultancy project; suppliers should therefore be prepared to demonstrate how their organisation can support that collaborative model and its procurement work.
