## Summary

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust procured health services to improve operational performance in surveillance endoscopy at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust. The work was funded by the Greater Manchester Cancer Alliance. The requirement was for the MFT service, with the buyer and supplier both based in Manchester. The procurement concerns service improvement in surveillance endoscopy rather than the purchase of equipment or construction works. The named supplier, Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, is itself a large NHS organisation.

The procurement is complete and a contract was awarded to Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust. The Christie NHS Foundation Trust used a direct award without competition, below the applicable threshold. The contract was signed on 9 August 2026 and ran from 10 August to 10 September 2026. Its value was £31,000 excluding VAT, or £37,200 including VAT. The procurement was arranged as one lot. The published data identifies the service and supplier but gives no evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements.

For suppliers considering comparable future work for The Christie, this award shows demand for targeted operational improvement in surveillance endoscopy, funded through the Greater Manchester Cancer Alliance and delivered within an NHS trust. A credible competitor would need a clear understanding of endoscopy service operations and the ability to improve performance in a clinical setting. Experience working with NHS providers and coordinating improvements across service teams would be relevant to demonstrating delivery capability. The work was awarded directly without competition, so the selected provider was another NHS foundation trust; familiarity with the NHS operating environment and the capacity to deliver a defined, focused improvement project are useful indicators of the supplier profile chosen here.
