Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process undertaken by Somerset NHS Foundation Trust pertains to securing an "Identity Server Redistribution Business License" primarily for the Somerset Cancer Register. This tender falls under the "services" category, specifically tailored to "Subscription services" within the UKK2 region of the United Kingdom. The procurement, initiated through a direct method below the competition threshold, has reached the award stage as of 10th February 2026, with a contract period spanning from 18th August 2025 to 17th August 2026. The involved buyer, Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, is classified as a public authority under central government, and the awarded supplier for this contract is Duende Software Inc., a large-scale enterprise based in the United States.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses within the subscription services industry, particularly those capable of handling identity server solutions. The procurement method, being direct and below the competition threshold, indicates a streamlined opportunity for suppliers with established reputations or specialised technologies. Large enterprises similar to Duende Software Inc., especially those with expertise in healthcare-focused IT solutions, would be well-suited to participate in similar future procurements, given the specific demands of the NHS and related public health sectors.
