Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process undertaken by the Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, based at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton, UK, involved the direct award of a comprehensive maintenance contract for Hologic Fluent fluid management systems. The tender, titled "Hologic Fluent fluid maintenance," falls under the industry category of services, specifically focusing on repair and maintenance services of medical equipment. The procurement method was direct, below threshold, without competition, and the contract was awarded on 24th June 2026, with the contract period spanning from 30th June 2026 to 31st March 2027. This corresponds to the award stage of the process, with Hologic Ltd. as the awarded supplier, headquartered in Wythenshawe, UK.
