Somerset NHS Foundation Trust has concluded an award under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 for the provision of a relocatable MRI scanner staffed with two radiologists. This procurement, classified under the Magnetic Resonance Imaging equipment industry (CPV code 33113000), entails supplying these services at Bridgwater Hospital, located in the region UKK23. The procurement method was a direct award without competitive tendering due to a short-term need to continue an existing service. The contract is valued at £165,355 and services are scheduled from 30 May 2026 to 14 August 2026.
