Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for a "SFG20 subscription" has been completed by the Dorset County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, located in Dorchester, UK. This tender falls under the industry category of subscription services with a procurement method classified as a single tender action, below the threshold. The contract is valued at £13,650 and will span from 6 April 2025 to 5 April 2026. This award process is now in the award stage, with BESA Publications Limited announced as the supplier on 4 August 2025.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses specialising in subscription services, particularly those capable of delivering premium value services similar to industry standards like SFG20. Although the tender was awarded through a direct procurement method, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a track record in similar sectors can contemplate exploring such opportunities within the NHS Trusts for future engagements, as they focus on efficient and reliable service delivery. While this specific opportunity might not have been suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), understanding the needs of public health institutions can help larger enterprises tailor their services accordingly and secure similar contracts in the future.
