## Summary

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust procured desktop engineering services from a consultant. The requirement falls within IT consulting, software development, internet and support services, with the practical scope described as desktop engineering services. Delivery was associated with The Christie’s site on Wilmslow Road, Manchester, and the United Kingdom. This is a specialist IT services requirement supporting desktop engineering rather than the supply of hardware or general facilities work. Businesses considering comparable opportunities should have a service offering focused on desktop environments, related technical support and consultancy for an NHS foundation trust or similar healthcare organisation. The buyer is The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, based in Manchester.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Max20 Project Solutions Limited. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award date was 1 July 2026, for £17,550 including the stated GBP currency. The awarded contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 September 2026. The tender submission deadline was 30 June 2026 at 12:00 BST. The award was active, and the contract period matches the procurement period. The opportunity was treated as a services contract. The stated suitability assessment marked it as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. No lots or separate awards were identified.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award is a clear indication that The Christie NHS Foundation Trust uses framework call-offs for defined desktop engineering consultancy. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need demonstrable capability in desktop engineering, consultancy and user-facing IT support, with sufficient capacity to deliver a focused assignment for a healthcare organisation. Experience of working within NHS or similarly controlled public-sector environments would help establish confidence in service continuity, technical governance and operational support, although no specific accreditation or qualification is stated. The buyer’s use of a framework route means suppliers should understand relevant framework categories, call-off procedures and the evidence required to compete effectively for this type of specialist IT service.
