## Summary

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust procured medical gases for use in its healthcare operations. This is a goods requirement covering a call-off order for medical gases, supplied to the Trust in Manchester. The buyer is The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, an NHS public authority based on Wilmslow Road, Manchester. The awarded supplier was BOC Limited, a large UK company specialising in industrial and medical gases. The requirement is directly relevant to suppliers with the capability to manufacture, source, distribute and safely manage medical gases for NHS or other healthcare settings. It also indicates demand for a supplier able to support a hospital buyer with reliable delivery and appropriate handling of regulated gas products.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to BOC Limited. The Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award is active and relates to a single lot. The contract was signed on 14 May 2026, runs from 14 June 2026 to 25 June 2026, and is valued at £40,000 excluding VAT (£48,000 including VAT). The award concerns medical gases and was made under the Procurement Act 2023. The published outcome records BOC Limited as the selected supplier. This was therefore a short-term, low-value call-off rather than an open competitive tender, with the buyer proceeding directly to the awarded supplier. The procurement reached completion as a contracting process, while the contract itself is recorded as active.

For suppliers that did not win this requirement, the procurement demonstrates a hospital buyer’s need for dependable medical-gas supply at call-off scale. A credible competitor would need suitable medical-gas products, compliant storage and transport arrangements, safe delivery processes, and the operational capacity to serve an NHS foundation trust. Experience supplying hospitals or other clinical environments would help demonstrate understanding of continuity of supply, product traceability, handling controls and urgent or scheduled deliveries. Suppliers should also be able to work through a direct purchasing route where appropriate, respond efficiently to short-duration requirements and provide clear commercial and technical information. BOC Limited’s award indicates that established gas-supply capability and the ability to meet healthcare-specific assurance expectations are relevant to this buyer’s requirement.
