Summary of the contracting process

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust procured a project portfolio management system as an information technology service. The requirement covers the provision of a system to support the Trust’s project portfolio management, together with information systems and system support services. The buying organisation is Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, based at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton. The awarded requirement is classified as information technology services, information systems, and system and support services. It is a service opportunity for suppliers providing project portfolio management software, implementation and associated support to NHS organisations. The system is intended for use by the Trust in managing its portfolio of projects and related activity.

The procurement has been awarded following a completed open procedure. Bids and enquiries closed on 25 February 2026, and the award decision period ended on 6 May 2026. One lot was awarded to TMI Systems Limited. The tender and lot had an estimated value of £350,000 excluding VAT, or £420,000 including VAT. The signed contract is worth £231,000 excluding VAT, or £277,200 including VAT. It was signed on 24 July 2026 and runs from 31 July 2026 to 28 October 2028, with two 12-month extensions available until 28 October 2030. Evaluation weighted quality and technical factors at 60%, commercial factors at 30%, and social value at 10%.

This award shows that Somerset NHS Foundation Trust buys an established project portfolio management capability rather than a general IT service alone. Competitors for a future requirement would need to provide reliable portfolio-management software, implementation expertise and ongoing system support, with the capacity to serve an NHS foundation trust. The evaluation places greatest emphasis on quality and technical performance, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate a robust, usable system and credible delivery arrangements. Commercial competitiveness matters, but social value also forms part of the assessment. The opportunity is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that specialist SMEs with relevant NHS, public-sector or complex-organisation experience may be well placed to compete.
