## Summary

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust in Manchester has concluded the procurement process for the support and maintenance of Cisco Networking equipment, classified under telephone network maintenance services. The involved procurement was selective, utilising a call-off from a framework agreement. This award stage procurement has an associated financial value of £26,700, with the award being finalised on 14th April 2026. The contract period commences on 15th April 2026, extending until 14th April 2027, and is not specifically aimed at SMEs or VCSEs.

The tender represents growth opportunities for businesses with expertise in networking equipment maintenance services, particularly those capable of leveraging framework agreements. Large-scale businesses, like Softcat plc, which was awarded the contract, might find such selective procurements particularly advantageous as they can efficiently fulfil the detailed requirements and provide a high level of service to public sector organisations such as NHS trusts. Businesses looking to expand into this sector can benefit from the stability and scope these contracts offer over a multi-year period in the UK's healthcare infrastructure.
