Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust bought bespoke made-to-measure lymphoedema garments, classified as medical consumables. The requirement was for garments tailored to individual patients rather than standard off-the-shelf products. The buying organisation is based in Manchester; the procurement data does not state where the garments were to be delivered or used.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Haddenham Healthcare Limited. The Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 13 September 2026 and ran from 14 September to 14 October 2026. Its value was £10,000 excluding VAT and £12,000 including VAT. The process was arranged as one lot, which is also complete. The stated requirement was valued at £10,000; the award entry does not give a separate award value. No evaluation criteria are recorded.

For suppliers considering similar work for The Christie, this award demonstrates demand for bespoke, made-to-measure lymphoedema garments as a medical consumables purchase. A credible competitor would need to provide garments tailored to individual patients and be able to fulfil a focused, short-duration requirement. Haddenham Healthcare Limited was selected through a direct award without competition, so the procurement does not show how competing suppliers would have been assessed or what capabilities determined the choice. The opportunity is specific to supplying lymphoedema garments to this Trust; suppliers whose offer is limited to standard garments or unrelated medical consumables are less closely aligned with the demonstrated requirement.
