## Summary

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust commissioned operational performance improvements for surveillance endoscopy, funded by the Greater Manchester Cancer Alliance. The work is a health service intended to support improvements in how surveillance endoscopy is delivered. The contracting process identifies Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust as the provider, with the service associated with the Salford-based trust. This is a single service requirement rather than a procurement divided into multiple lots. The stated scope is limited to operational performance improvements for surveillance endoscopy; no more specific activities or deliverables are described. The requirement is relevant to healthcare providers and organisations with experience improving operational performance in endoscopy services, particularly surveillance pathways within NHS settings.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust. The Christie used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 9 August 2026 and runs from 10 August to 10 September 2026. Its stated value is £10,000 excluding VAT and £12,000 including VAT. There is one lot, and the award is active. The procurement describes the purpose as supporting improvements in operational performance for surveillance endoscopy, funded by the Greater Manchester Cancer Alliance. No award criteria or comparative evaluation basis are recorded; the route was a direct award rather than a competitive selection. The contract is for services and relates to health services.

This award shows demand from The Christie NHS Foundation Trust for focused operational improvement in surveillance endoscopy, with funding linked to the Greater Manchester Cancer Alliance. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need to understand NHS endoscopy operations and demonstrate practical capability to improve the performance of surveillance services. Relevant experience in endoscopy pathways, service delivery and working with NHS trusts would help establish fit with the requirement. The selected provider is a large NHS foundation trust, indicating that the work was placed with an established healthcare organisation. The described scope is specific and service-based, so suppliers whose expertise is in operational improvement within clinical services are more relevant than general health-sector suppliers without endoscopy experience.
