UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust procured guttering maintenance works at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton. The requirement covers maintaining the hospital’s guttering systems, classified as guttering work. The work is associated with the hospital site rather than a wider regional programme, so relevant businesses are contractors able to provide specialist guttering maintenance at a healthcare premises. The buying organisation is Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, which manages the procurement and uses the hospital as the delivery location. The awarded supplier, Access Specilaist contracts Ltd, is based in Cardiff and operates as a small or medium-sized enterprise. This is a works requirement, rather than a supply-only or consultancy opportunity, and is suited to businesses with practical building-maintenance capability focused on guttering and associated access arrangements.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Somerset NHS Foundation Trust used a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Access Specilaist contracts Ltd. The contract was signed on 28 August 2026 and runs from 18 September 2026 to 18 September 2027. Its value is £95,500 excluding VAT and £114,600 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies guttering work as the contracted category and places delivery at Musgrove Park Hospital, Taunton. The available outcome records the selected supplier and the single contract period and value; it does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or detailed award weighting. The process therefore demonstrates a direct, limited-competition route for a defined hospital maintenance requirement.

This procurement is useful market evidence for contractors specialising in guttering maintenance and building fabric works who want to understand Somerset NHS Foundation Trust’s requirements. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that the scale and delivery model can be handled by a smaller specialist business rather than only a national facilities-management provider. A credible competitor would need practical expertise in guttering work, the capability to organise safe access to hospital buildings, and sufficient staff, equipment and management controls to maintain services at a healthcare site. Relevant experience of planned maintenance, responsive defect work and working safely around a live public-sector premises would strengthen a future offer, provided it can be evidenced clearly. The buyer’s use of a limited competition also makes established supplier relationships, clear capability statements and readiness for a focused procurement route commercially relevant.
