UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust bought a Monsoon IV Double Jet Ventilator, a piece of ventilation equipment for use in theatres. The purchase replaces the Trust’s old, obsolete jet ventilator and aligns with the equipment standard used in its theatres. Delivery is to Somerset, in the Taunton area. This is a single equipment requirement for the Trust, rather than a broader programme of clinical services or works. The intended market is suppliers able to provide this type of specialist medical ventilation equipment for hospital theatre use.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Inspiration Healthcare Limited. The Trust used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 18 September 2026 and runs from 29 September 2026 to 28 October 2027. Its value is £54,893.69 excluding VAT (£65,872.43 including VAT). The award is active, and the contract is active. The procurement was for one lot covering the ventilator. The stated purpose was replacement of obsolete equipment in line with the Trust’s theatre standard; the published procurement information does not describe an evaluated competitive process or set out scored award criteria.

For suppliers considering similar requirements from Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, this purchase indicates demand for specialist theatre ventilation equipment that meets the Trust’s established equipment standard and can replace obsolete kit. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate that its equipment is suitable for clinical theatre use and can be supplied to the Trust in Somerset. Inspiration Healthcare Limited, recorded as an SME, secured this contract through a below-threshold direct award without competition, so the outcome shows that the Trust has bought this type of equipment by a non-competitive route. The opportunity is relevant to medical equipment suppliers with a matching ventilator product and the ability to support hospital procurement and delivery requirements; it does not evidence demand for unrelated clinical services.
