Summary of the contracting process

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust has successfully completed a procurement process involving the direct award of a contract to MRI Software Limited. The contract is for an annual licence of the CAFM asset software, which is already integrated within the Trust's operations. This process follows a previous tender and has been embedded within the Trust's technical systems. The procurement falls under the 'services' category and was awarded based on technical reasons for keeping a single supplier in place. The contract, worth £430,590 gross, spans from 1st March 2026 to 31st December 2030. Located at Musgrove Park Hospital, Taunton, Somerset, the Trust operates under the public authority central government classification, serving the UK region. The procurement method used was a direct award, finalised on 19th February 2026.

For businesses, this contract presents an opportunity to explore collaboration potential with public sector organisations, particularly within the NHS framework. While the direct award favours MRI Software Limited, other software providers can benefit from understanding the technical and operational requirements that continue to shape such procurement decisions. Companies in the software development and IT services industries could find growth prospects by demonstrating their ability to integrate and maintain complex software systems which align with the operational needs of health sector agencies. Building relationships with NHS Trusts and focusing on bespoke software solutions could pave the way for future engagements.
