Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust bought 14 Vivid Rise and Recliner Chairs for the Beacon Centre, using charitable funds. The requirement is for specialist seating rather than general furniture, with the chairs intended to support the centre’s users. The buying organisation is based at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton, and delivery is associated with the Beacon Centre in Taunton, Somerset. This is a goods procurement in the chairs category (CPV 39112000). The named product specification indicates that suppliers need to provide rise-and-recline chairs as a complete supply requirement, rather than a broader furniture, installation or construction service.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Somerset NHS Foundation Trust used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made to CoreCare Global Ltd trading as Vivid Care on 3 August 2026. The awarded value is £30,072 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 7 August 2026 to 7 August 2027. The tender submission deadline was 6 August 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was assessed as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, although the named winning supplier is recorded as an SME. One supplier and one requirement are identified.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates a defined NHS demand for specialist rise-and-recline seating at a care setting. A credible competitor would need a suitable range of rise-and-recliner chairs, the capacity to supply 14 units as a coordinated order, and reliable delivery to a healthcare site in Taunton. Access to the relevant framework route is important, because this purchase was made as a framework call-off rather than through an open tender. The selected business is an SME, indicating that specialist smaller suppliers can be involved, despite the procurement’s recorded suitability assessment. Relevant future positioning would therefore centre on product fit, dependable fulfilment and framework participation.
