UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust commissioned a healthcare IT integration service for its existing Philips-hosted Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) and a separate Trust clinical system. The work covers the design, configuration, testing and implementation of interfaces to enable secure exchange of diagnostic imaging data and associated patient information. Its purpose is to improve interoperability, give clinical staff seamless access to imaging information and support more efficient clinical workflows. This is a systems and support service (CPV 72250000) delivered for the Trust at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton. The requirement is specific to connecting Philips’ PACS environment with another clinical system, rather than supplying a new PACS or providing general-purpose IT support.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly to Philips Electronics UK Limited. It was a below-threshold, without-competition procedure using direct procurement, and the award was made on 1 September 2026. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 2 September 2026 to 2 March 2027. Its value is £40,067 excluding VAT, or £48,080.40 including VAT. The award covers one completed lot and is recorded as active. The selected supplier is Philips Electronics UK Limited. Evaluation was therefore not conducted through a competitive tender: the contract was placed directly under the stated below-threshold route. The project is described as a one-off, non-recurring integration service for the Trust’s existing systems.

This procurement indicates a defined requirement for specialist healthcare interoperability work around Philips-hosted PACS environments. Suppliers seeking comparable work with Somerset NHS Foundation Trust would need credible capability in diagnostic imaging systems, clinical-system integration and the secure exchange of patient information. Relevant delivery experience would include interface design, configuration, testing, implementation and operational assurance across separate NHS or clinical platforms. Technical credibility would be strengthened by experience of Philips Healthcare systems and the workflow, security and data-handling requirements associated with medical imaging. A competitor would also need the capacity to manage a complete integration project from technical design through testing and implementation, while understanding how connectivity affects clinical access and day-to-day operational efficiency.
