UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust procured lift safety communication upgrades and associated SIM services. The requirement is to supply and fit a GSM-compatible unit to an existing lift autodialler, with the SIM card excluded from the installation, and to supply and fit a GSM aerial extension to improve signal strength. It also covers annual rental and call charges for the autodialler SIM card. This is lift installation and communications equipment work, classified under CPV 45313100. The buying organisation is Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, based at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton. The work relates to the Trust’s lift infrastructure and requires a supplier able to deliver installation and ongoing SIM-related services for its facilities.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. Jackson Lift Services Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 24 August 2026 and runs from 24 August 2026 to 23 August 2027. Its value is £13,230 excluding VAT, or £15,876 including VAT. The contract is active. The arrangement combines one-off installation work with ongoing annual rental and call charges for the lift autodialler SIM. The outcome demonstrates that the Trust used a non-competitive route for a relatively small lift communications requirement, rather than an open tender. No separate award date is recorded, but the supplier selection is reflected in the active award and signed contract.

This requirement is most relevant to lift maintenance, lift installation and specialist emergency-communication suppliers that can work on existing autodialler systems. A credible competitor would need to install GSM-compatible lift equipment, fit aerial extensions where signal quality is inadequate, and ensure the system remains suitable for emergency communication. The service model also calls for the operational capability to provide SIM rental and manage call charges over the contract period, rather than supplying hardware alone. Experience working safely in healthcare or other occupied public buildings would strengthen a supplier’s position, as would the capacity to combine site installation with dependable communications support. The awarded supplier’s profile indicates that the buyer accepted a large, established lift-services provider for this combined technical and recurring service requirement.
