## Summary

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust commissioned architectural and construction consultancy services for the refurbishment and reconfiguration of the Short and Long Stay areas of its Clinical Research Facility. The appointed Architect and Lead Consultant is responsible for the design and associated enabling works through to and including RIBA Stage 7, covering the full design and construction-related consultancy requirement. The work is delivered at The Christie NHS Foundation Trust on Wilmslow Road, Manchester, M20 4BX. The procurement is categorised as works, with the underlying service scope covering architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services. It is relevant to firms providing architectural leadership and multidisciplinary construction consultancy for healthcare refurbishment and clinical research environments.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 28 February 2026 at 12:00. The award was made on 28 February 2026 to Gilling Dod Limited, an SME, for £59,950. The contract period runs from 1 March 2026 to 1 March 2028. The award is active and the tender status is complete. The requirement was handled as a framework call-off rather than an open competition, so future suppliers would need access to the relevant framework and the ability to operate through its call-off process. The stated scope covers design and enabling works through RIBA Stage 7.

For competitors, this award demonstrates demand from The Christie NHS Foundation Trust for a single lead consultant able to take a complex clinical research facility refurbishment from design through final delivery stages. Credibility would depend on strong architectural capability, construction consultancy expertise and the ability to coordinate associated enabling works across Short and Long Stay accommodation. Firms should be able to manage a complete RIBA Stage 7 commission, combining design leadership with construction, engineering and inspection coordination. Experience of healthcare refurbishment and operational clinical or research environments would help address the practical constraints of reconfiguring an existing facility. Relevant framework membership and sufficient delivery capacity for a substantial, multi-stage commission would also be important.
