## Summary

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust procured an e-portfolio service, covering the software development needed to provide its GM E-Portfolio. This is an IT service rather than a purchase of physical equipment or construction work. The buyer is the Trust, and the requirement is identified as one service lot. The procurement record does not give a delivery site, so the service should not be assumed to be based at a particular Trust location. The selected supplier, Gas Mark 8 Limited, is based in Bolton; this is the supplier’s location, not a stated place of delivery. The requirement is specifically for the GM E-Portfolio service, rather than a general software development programme.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The Trust used a below-threshold limited competition. Gas Mark 8 Limited was selected for the single lot; the award is active and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 17 August 2026, with a period from 18 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £87,000 excluding VAT and £104,400 including VAT. The available procurement details identify the service and supplier but do not set out evaluation criteria, eligibility requirements or a fuller description of the limited competition. The award date is not stated in the available details; the contract signing date is given above and is distinct from an award date.

For software developers and IT service providers, this award shows that The Christie NHS Foundation Trust has bought development services for its GM E-Portfolio through a limited competition. A credible competitor for a comparable future requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to develop and deliver an e-portfolio service, with a clear delivery approach suited to the Trust’s specific system requirement. The contract was awarded to Gas Mark 8 Limited, an SME, showing that a smaller supplier won this service contract. The requirement is focused on software development rather than broad IT support, so relevant portfolio and delivery experience in developing comparable software would be more pertinent than general-purpose technology capability. The awarded contract provides evidence of this buyer’s demand for a defined e-portfolio service.
