Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a contract for the provision of Medical Photography Services for Dermatology Clinics. The procurement, conducted under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, bypasses the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 for a direct award to University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust. The contract, valued at £90,000, was awarded on 20 June 2025 and spans from 1 July 2025 to 30 November 2026. The services will be delivered in the region of Taunton (UKK23), focusing on dermatology services. The procurement method was a limited procedure, not requiring prior publication of a competition call, due to its alignment with Provider Selection Regime provisions.

This procurement presents a strategic opportunity for businesses specialising in dermatology-related medical services. Organisations with expertise in innovative, high-quality, and integrated healthcare solutions stand to benefit, especially those with a proven track record in improving service access and reducing health inequalities. Existing providers with competencies in delivering patient-centric and compliant health services, matching the high standards expected by public healthcare institutions, are particularly well-poised to navigate such contracts successfully.
