Summary of the contracting process

The Somerset NHS Foundation Trust has recently concluded a procurement process titled "Group SW CEO Forum Subscription," classified under the industry category of subscription services with the CPV code 79980000. The procurement process has reached the award stage, with a contract value of £12,000 for a period starting on 8th January 2026 and ending on 7th January 2027. Located in the South West region of the United Kingdom, the procurement method used was a direct single tender action below the threshold, indicating a straightforward and targeted contracting process.

This procurement opportunity presents a unique occasion for businesses, particularly those operating within the services sector and capable of providing bespoke subscription services. Notably, the contract was awarded to Finnamore Associates Limited, a small or medium-sized enterprise, despite the suitability criteria indicating preferences that do not target SMEs or VCSEs. This showcases potential for specialised service providers to enhance their portfolio through direct government contracts. Companies with a strong track record in subscription-based offerings can find growth opportunities by aligning with specific and targeted needs of public sector entities like the Somerset NHS Foundation Trust.
