UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, located in Taunton, United Kingdom, has awarded a procurement contract for Legionella and Pseudomonas sampling services. The process followed a direct procurement method below threshold levels, executed without competition under legal requirements specified in UKPGA 2023/54. The procurement was completed and moved to the contract stage on 16th June 2026. The contract is active from 1st June 2026 and will run until the 31st May 2027, with the contract value grossly amounting to GBP 33,897.60. The supplier awarded this contract is Proeconomy Limited, based in Milton Keynes, UK, known for their technical testing, analysis, and consultancy services related to the sampling project.

This contract presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in technical testing and analysis services, particularly within the healthcare sector, to establish themselves as reliable service providers for public authorities like the NHS. Companies with expertise in Legionella and Pseudomonas sampling could look to similar opportunities for expanding their market presence. As this procurement demonstrated a below-threshold approach without competition, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with niche specialization in safety and health-related testing services would be well-suited to pursue comparable contracts. This can especially benefit SMEs aiming to foster stronger connections with public health institutions by showcasing their specialized capabilities in health safety compliance services.
