Summary of the contracting process

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, operating from Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton, UK, recently completed a procurement process titled "Authorising Engineer (Medical Gas), service contract and annual audit". This procurement falls within the services category, specifically repair and maintenance services. The contract location is in the UKK23 region, and the procurement was managed using a direct method below the threshold without competition. Significant dates include the contract's start and end period from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2026, with the contract award being active as of 9th February 2026.
