Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Benson Model for District Nursing" was conducted by Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, located in Taunton, Somerset, UK. This contract, categorised under the industry of 'Software package and information systems', was awarded through a single tender action below the threshold, with Benson Health Ltd selected as the supplier. The process is now complete, with the award status marked active on 29th September 2025. The tender period concluded just beforehand on the same day, and the contract will be active from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2026. The procurement stage reached the awarding phase with an award value of £33,765 GBP.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in software and information systems to gain contracts with healthcare organisations like Somerset NHS Foundation Trust. However, the procurement method suggests that it may be more beneficial for businesses that have already established relationships within the healthcare sector due to the direct award process. Typically, small or medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) might find fewer opportunities here, given the specific suitability criteria outlined in the tender. Nonetheless, larger entities with a robust portfolio in healthcare solution delivery could leverage similar opportunities for business growth and expansion.
