The procurement is in the award stage, with the contract awarded to De Soutter Medical Limited on 6th February 2026. The contract runs from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027. Located in Taunton, South West England, the buyer's contact address is Musgrove Park Hospital. The final tender period closed on 11th February 2026, with a total contract value of £18,723.38.
