Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process, titled "Macerators Service Contract," involves the annual servicing of macerators at Trust sites and falls under the services industry category for the treatment of sewage. Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, located in Taunton, South West, United Kingdom, is the buying organisation overseeing this process. The procurement has reached the award stage, with the award date on 17th March 2025. The tender period ended on 14th March 2025, and the contract period is scheduled from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. The awarded contract holds a value of £25,608 GBP, and Somerset NHS Foundation Trust has chosen "Other" as the procurement method, indicating it may be a bespoke or less common type of procurement process.

This tender can significantly contribute to business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in servicing equipment relevant to sewage treatment, such as macerators. While the current supplier, The Haigh Engineering Co Limited, classified as an SME, successfully secured the contract, businesses with niche expertise in similar service areas can explore future opportunities, provided they align with the requirements of large-scale organisations like the Somerset NHS Foundation Trust. This type of contract is suitable for businesses that are adept at navigating the complexities of healthcare infrastructure service contracts and ensuring compliance with industry standards. Although the procurement process indicates it is not specifically geared towards SMEs or VCSE organisations, there remains potential for businesses with strong credentials in the sector to compete effectively.
