## Summary

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust in Manchester procured technical education course costs for 2026. The requirement is for education and training services, supporting the Trust’s technical education activity. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s premises on Wilmslow Road, Manchester. The buyer is a public authority operating in the NHS, so relevant providers are organisations able to deliver structured technical learning for healthcare or other specialist staff. The procurement covers one service requirement rather than separate work packages. Its focus is course costs, indicating a service concerned with providing or funding technical education rather than construction, equipment supply or general consultancy. Businesses specialising in vocational, technical or workforce training may therefore find the requirement relevant, particularly where their services can support a large healthcare organisation’s education needs.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Philips Electronic UK Ltd was selected as the supplier. The award was made on 15 May 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 15 May 2026 to 14 May 2027. Its value is £10,000 excluding VAT, or £12,000 including VAT. The evaluation basis was the buyer’s direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The award and contract cover the single technical education course-costs requirement. The contract is active, and the recorded award is also active. This is an established contract outcome, not an invitation for suppliers to submit bids.

This outcome shows that The Christie NHS Foundation Trust buys technical education and training services for a defined annual requirement and has used a direct, below-threshold route to appoint a large supplier. A competitor seeking to be credible for a future requirement of the same kind would need demonstrable capability in technical or vocational education, course design or delivery, and the capacity to support an NHS foundation trust. Relevant evidence could include experience delivering specialist workforce training, understanding of healthcare education environments, suitably qualified teaching staff, and dependable administration of course costs and attendance. Providers should also be able to explain how they would deliver consistently for a single specialist healthcare buyer, meet its operational requirements and provide clear commercial information for a below-threshold purchase.
