UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Somerset NHS Foundation Trust has successfully completed a procurement process for a service contract concerning the maintenance and calibration of dentistry equipment. The award phase culminated on 16 October 2025, with Carestream Dental Limited selected as the supplier. This contract, identified by TSMC11020, involves service provisions across seven sites within the Somerset Foundation Trust and is scheduled to conclude on 31 March 2028. The procurement approach used was a direct method categorized as "below threshold without competition." This process falls under the services industry category, with maintenance and repair of medical equipment serving as the primary focus, covering various locations throughout the United Kingdom, including regions like UKC, UKD, and UKK, among others.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for enterprises specialising in the maintenance of medical and precision equipment. SMEs, like Carestream Dental Limited, which already have a foothold in such industries, are well-suited to compete in similar tenders, given their niche expertise and flexibility. The contract's scope covering multiple sites within a healthcare trust provides recurring revenue streams and the potential for establishing long-term client relationships. Moreover, companies with capabilities to deliver comprehensive maintenance services without the need for competitive bidding processes can find this procurement method advantageous for streamlined project acquisition.
