UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the 'Tortus AI Pilot', led by Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, aimed to secure system and support services to facilitate a benefits realisation project. Classified under the services category, the contract focused on the United Kingdom (specifically, the UKK2 region). Having commenced with a direct procurement method below the threshold and eschewing open competition, the contract was signed on 30th July 2025, with an active period running from 1st August 2025 to 31st July 2026. The award stage is complete with a total contract value of £27,000, with the procurement following the legal framework stipulated under the UKPGA 2023/54.

This opportunity with Somerset NHS Foundation Trust provides a valuable chance for businesses involved in AI and digital support services to demonstrate their capabilities in contributing to healthcare innovation. The pilot project, having been awarded to TORTUS AI LTD—a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in London—illustrates the potential for growth and partnership cultivation for similarly positioned companies. Businesses with expertise in advanced technology solutions and a focus on efficiency and scalability would find this contract archetypal for forging strong ties with public health institutions.
