Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust has completed the procurement of a contract under urgent circumstances for the provision of emergency out-of-hours interventional radiology services. This contract, governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, was awarded without prior publication due to extreme urgency and unforeseeable events. The awarded contract, valued at £225,000, is set for a duration of six months beginning on 1st January 2026, with a possible three-month extension. The services are to be provided at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton, located within the UKK23 region, and aim to ensure the availability of a specialist-led, robust, and safe on-call Interventional Radiology service. The procurement process was managed by the Head of Imaging with consideration for immediate safety and quality of care.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in medical specialist services. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the healthcare sector, especially those with expertise in interventional radiology, are well-positioned to compete for similar future contracts. As the procurement was based on urgent need, businesses with rapid mobilisation capabilities and a track record of effective emergency service provision would find such opportunities beneficial for growth and expansion. The process highlights the value of agile and responsive service providers in the health sector, particularly those that can address critical workforce shortages efficiently.
