Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust commissioned an infrastructure specialist service to review its infrastructure and summarise recommended integration solutions for its electronic patient record (EPR) system. The work is software consultancy, focused on assessing existing infrastructure and advising on integration options rather than supplying a specified software product. The buying organisation is The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, based in Manchester. The requirement was awarded as a single lot to one supplier, Max20 Project Solutions Limited. The stated purpose is to inform how the Trust’s infrastructure can support integration with its EPR; no more detailed deliverables or implementation work are described.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was awarded to Max20 Project Solutions Limited, and signed on 30 June 2026. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £68,908 excluding VAT (£82,689.60 including VAT). The process used one lot. The recorded procurement method is described as below threshold, with no specific procedure details. No evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements are stated in the contracting data. The award is for software consultancy services covering an infrastructure review and recommendations for integration solutions for the Trust’s EPR system.

The award shows demand at The Christie for specialist consultancy combining infrastructure assessment with practical advice on integrating systems with its electronic patient record. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need demonstrable infrastructure expertise, experience reviewing complex healthcare or similarly critical IT environments, and the ability to develop clear, feasible integration recommendations. Suppliers should be able to communicate technical findings in a concise summary that supports the Trust’s decisions. The contract was awarded as a single-lot service to a consultancy supplier, suggesting that a provider able to take responsibility for the review and its recommendations would be well placed. This is a focused opportunity for firms with relevant infrastructure and systems-integration advisory capability.
