Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust procured the replacement and upgrade of emergency lighting in its linear accelerator (Linac) waiting areas. This is a building electrical services requirement focused on emergency lights in a healthcare setting. The buying organisation is The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, based in Manchester. The work concerns its Linac waiting areas; no separate delivery location is identified.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. A Copeland Group Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 14 July 2026 and runs from 15 July 2026 to 14 July 2027. Its value is £37,391.58 excluding VAT (£44,869.90 including VAT). The procurement was treated as a single lot. No evaluation criteria are stated.

This award shows demand at The Christie for specialist electrical services to replace and upgrade emergency lighting in Linac waiting areas. A credible supplier for a similar future requirement would need to demonstrate the practical capability to assess existing emergency lighting and carry out replacement and upgrade work in a clinical environment. Experience working safely around healthcare operations and coordinating works in patient waiting areas would be relevant to competing for this specific type of requirement. The selected supplier is a large company, indicating that a business able to deliver the work at this scale has won the contract. The award followed a direct route without competition, so this process does not demonstrate competitive evaluation criteria or a particular accreditation requirement.
