## Summary

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust bought a replacement gallium generator, a generator unit for use at its Manchester site on Wilmslow Road. The procurement is for the supply of equipment; the published description does not identify further technical specifications or explain the generator’s intended operational use. The requirement is therefore relevant to suppliers of gallium generators or specialist generator equipment, particularly those able to supply the Trust in Manchester. The buyer is The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, an NHS foundation trust. The delivery location is Manchester, United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Xiel Ltd. The award date was 1 March 2026, and the contract period runs from 1 March to 31 March 2026. The awarded value is £90,500. The requirement was procured through a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The stated submission deadline was 28 February 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The procurement was not marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. No lots are identified. The published data does not set out the evaluation criteria or explain the technical specification against which the selected supplier was assessed.

This award demonstrates demand from The Christie NHS Foundation Trust for replacement gallium generator equipment, delivered to its Manchester site. The successful supplier was Xiel Ltd, identified as a small business, showing that a smaller supplier has delivered this requirement. A competitor seeking to serve this buyer when the requirement returns to market would need the ability to supply suitable replacement generator equipment and to meet the Trust’s technical and delivery requirements. The procurement used a call-off from a framework agreement, so relevant framework access would be important to competing through the same route. The award indicates a defined, equipment-supply requirement rather than a broader services or works contract. Suppliers with experience supplying gallium generator units to healthcare organisations would be well placed to assess their fit.
