Summary of the contracting process

The Somerset NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a contract for Electronic Healthcare Record (EHR) Software to the supplier Epic, marking the completion of the procurement process as of 12th March 2026. This tender falls within the medical software package category and was initiated under a selective procurement method, specifically as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £222,389,889, spans from 13th March 2026 to 11th March 2036, and involves healthcare services for multiple trusts including Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, University Hospitals Dorset NHS Trust, Dorset County Hospitals NHS Trust, and Dorset Healthcare. It covers the South West region of the United Kingdom, with the primary activities focused around Taunton, Somerset.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for large enterprises specialising in medical software services. As the procurement is not aimed at small or voluntary sector organisations (SMEs or VCSEs), established companies with extensive expertise in healthcare IT solutions are particularly well-suited to compete in similar tenders. Moreover, the demand for sophisticated EHR systems ensures continued investments and collaborative opportunities within the NHS Trusts located in Dorset and Somerset, creating a vibrant market for businesses adept in cutting-edge healthcare technology solutions.
