Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Somerset NHS Foundation Trust involves the acquisition of an E3 Desktop visual electrophysiology system and Ganzfeld simulator. This procurement falls under the category of medical equipment within the goods sector. The contract, valued at £56,700 excluding VAT, was awarded to Diagnosys UK Ltd. The process was conducted directly, below threshold and without competition, marking its completion on 20th February 2026. Located in Taunton, the Trust aims to install the equipment to enhance healthcare provisions, with key activities such as delivery and installation already planned post-award.

Such insights could help businesses tailor offerings to meet procurement criteria efficiently and effectively.
