Summary of the contracting process

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust bought annual and quarterly servicing of SSD equipment, including thermometric testing. This is a specialist maintenance service supporting the trust’s sterile services department and its associated electrical and mechanical building installations. The work is delivered for the trust in Taunton, Somerset. The procurement is categorised as services and covers repair and maintenance activity rather than the supply of new equipment. It would suit businesses that maintain SSD or sterile-services equipment, carry out planned servicing and testing, and can support NHS estate or clinical-service environments. The requirement was awarded as a single service package to one supplier, covering the trust’s stated servicing and testing needs.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to IM MED Ltd. The trust used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 9 February 2026, runs from 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2027, and is valued at £91,058.75 excluding VAT, or £109,270.50 including VAT. The award is active and relates to the full single-lot requirement. The stated service scope was annual and quarterly servicing and thermometric testing, classified under repair and maintenance services for electrical and mechanical building installations. The published outcome identifies IM MED Ltd as the selected supplier; no separate evaluation weighting or competing tender process is recorded.

This procurement demonstrates a defined, recurring requirement from Somerset NHS Foundation Trust for specialist SSD servicing and thermometric testing. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical capability in planned annual and quarterly maintenance, accurate temperature measurement and testing, fault diagnosis, and the upkeep of electrical and mechanical installations associated with sterile-services operations. Experience of working safely in an NHS hospital environment would be commercially relevant, particularly where maintenance must support clinical services and reliable equipment availability. The awarded supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large national contractor. Businesses with established maintenance procedures, appropriately skilled engineers, and evidence of dependable servicing should monitor this buyer’s comparable demand.
