## Summary

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust procured the supply and installation of a new KLS Martin E9i operating light for surgical use. The work combines supplying specialist medical equipment with installing it at the Trust in Manchester. This is a focused requirement for an operating-theatre light rather than a wider medical equipment or hospital works package. The recorded service category covers installation of medical equipment, and the equipment is identified as a surgical light. The Christie is the buying organisation, with the equipment intended for its healthcare operations. The procurement was arranged as a single lot, covering the supply and installation requirement together.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Christie awarded the single-lot contract to Howarth Air Technology Limited following a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award date is not recorded. The contract was signed on 30 August 2026 and runs from 31 August to 31 December 2026. Its stated value is £55,776 excluding VAT, or £66,931.20 including VAT. The award covered the supply and installation of the KLS Martin E9i operating light. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and an active contract; no evaluation criteria or separate assessment basis are stated.

This award shows that The Christie buys individual operating-theatre lights with installation as a combined requirement, rather than treating equipment supply and installation as separate packages. Suppliers competing for similar work for this Trust would need to provide the relevant surgical lighting equipment and deliver its installation as part of the service. The selected supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, demonstrating that a specialist SME was able to take the contract. Credibility will depend on having the product capability and installation expertise to meet a hospital operating-light requirement; the procurement does not identify specific accreditations, staffing qualifications or technical evaluation criteria. The single-lot approach indicates that suppliers should be prepared to offer both the equipment and installation together.
