Summary of the contracting process

The Somerset NHS Foundation Trust awarded a contract for the "HR111 Gartner HR Programme", classified under training programme services within the healthcare sector. This procurement process was conducted as a "limited" award, without prior publication of a call for competition, and is considered complete. The contract was signed with Gartner on 11th December 2025 and involves research services to be delivered at Musgrove Hospital in Taunton, located in the UKK23 region. This procurement falls outside the typical scope of the directive, according to the rationale provided. The contract value amounts to £144,600, offering substantial insights beneficial to the healthcare system.

This tender presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses specializing in research and development consultancy services, especially those focused on healthcare training programs. Given Gartner's involvement, companies that can offer innovative research solutions or specialist consulting services stand to benefit significantly. Enterprises that engage in subscription-based services could find substantial growth potential, particularly if they are able to cater to the specific needs of health institutions. Though the procurement process is complete, understanding the capabilities and requirements can help similar businesses prepare for future opportunities in this sector.
