Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust procured 10 rise-and-recline chairs for the Labour Ward at Musgrove Park Hospital, Taunton. The requirement is for goods: specialist seating that supports patients in rising from and reclining into a seated position. Delivery is associated with the hospital’s address in Taunton, Somerset. The buying organisation is Somerset NHS Foundation Trust. This is a focused healthcare furniture requirement rather than a wider furniture supply or installation project, so it is most relevant to manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist suppliers of rise-and-recline chairs for hospitals and other clinical environments.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 6 August 2026 to CoreCare Global Ltd trading as Vivid Care. The awarded contract value is £21,480. The contract runs from 12 August 2026 to 12 August 2027. The requirement was for 10 chairs, with an estimated procurement value of £21,480. Somerset NHS Foundation Trust used a selective procurement route as a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open competition. The tender submission deadline was 11 August 2026 at 12:00. The award is active, and the contract period begins on 12 August 2026. The procurement was classified as chairs under CPV 39112000.

This award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for rise-and-recline seating in a labour ward, with a quantity suitable for a specialist healthcare furniture supplier rather than a general office-furniture business. A credible future competitor would need a reliable supply of clinically appropriate rise-and-recline chairs, the capacity to fulfil a small, specific order, and the ability to deliver to an NHS hospital. Experience supplying healthcare settings would help demonstrate understanding of patient safety, comfort, infection-control expectations and clinical use. Suppliers should also be positioned to sell through the relevant framework route, since this buyer used a framework call-off. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that a smaller specialist business can satisfy this type of requirement.
