Summary of the contracting process

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust has completed a public procurement process for the provision of service and support for Carestream R4 software, server, and 40 workstations for its dentistry services in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement falls under the industry category "Repair and maintenance services of medical and surgical equipment" (CPV code 50420000). The contract, worth £10,591.91, was awarded through a direct procurement method (single tender action below threshold). Key dates include the contract start on 1st April 2025 and ending on 31st March 2026.

This tender provides an opportunity for businesses specialising in IT support and medical equipment maintenance, particularly those experienced with Carestream R4 software and related hardware. Larger companies previously involved with NHS contracts, given the SME and VCSE suitability restrictions outlined, would be well-suited to compete for similar future opportunities. The direct procurement method used in this instance suggests that having pre-existing relationships or specialist expertise in the required services can enhance business growth through such contracts.
