## Summary

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust procured the rental of cylinders used for medical gases. The requirement covers payment of a cylinder rental invoice, with the cylinders supporting the Trust’s healthcare operations. The main procurement category is goods, specifically medical gases. Delivery is for activity in the United Kingdom. The buyer is The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, a public healthcare organisation based in Manchester. The requirement was arranged as a single procurement lot and was fulfilled by BOC Limited, a large specialist supplier of industrial and medical gases. Businesses active in medical-gas supply, cylinder rental, gas-container management or related healthcare logistics would find this requirement most relevant, particularly those able to support an NHS hospital environment and maintain reliable access to the required cylinders.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The Christie NHS Foundation Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. BOC Limited received the award for the single lot. The contract was signed on 19 April 2026 and ran from 28 April 2026 to 31 May 2026. Its value was £26,233.73 excluding VAT, or £31,480.48 including VAT. The contract remains recorded as active. The requirement was evaluated through the buyer’s direct, non-competitive route rather than an open tender. The outcome shows a short-term cylinder-rental arrangement for medical gases, with one supplier selected to provide the goods associated with the completed procurement.

This award indicates demand from The Christie NHS Foundation Trust for medical-gas cylinders supplied through a rental arrangement, rather than a one-off purchase of gas alone. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need dependable access to suitable medical-gas cylinders, the operational capacity to manage rental assets, and the ability to support deliveries and continuity of supply for a hospital. Experience serving NHS or other healthcare customers would help demonstrate understanding of clinical service requirements, cylinder control, reliable replenishment and safe handling. Suppliers competing in this market should also be able to provide clear invoicing and contract administration for recurring or short-duration cylinder rental services, while operating at a scale appropriate to a large specialist medical-gas provider.
