UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust procured an MS39 optical coherence tomography (OCT) anterior segment analysis device and a TS200 motorised table. This is specialist ophthalmology equipment for examining the front structures of the eye, together with its motorised patient table. The award classifies the equipment as ophthalmology equipment (CPV 33122000). The buying organisation is Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, based in Taunton. The procurement concerns a single lot for the equipment; the data does not identify a separate delivery location. The selected supplier, Hanson Instruments Limited, is based in Redditch.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was a below-threshold purchase; the procurement method is recorded as unknown. The contract was signed on 1 October 2026 and runs from 1 October to 31 October 2026. Its value is £71,185 excluding VAT and £85,422 including VAT. Hanson Instruments Limited was selected for the single lot. The award record does not state a separate award date, and no evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements are recorded. The purchase description identifies the MS39 OCT anterior segment analysis device and TS200 motorised table as the contracted equipment.

For suppliers competing for a similar requirement in future, this award shows demand from Somerset NHS Foundation Trust for specialist ophthalmology diagnostic equipment paired with a motorised examination table. A credible competitor would need to supply an MS39 OCT anterior segment analysis device, or equipment meeting the buyer’s clinical need, alongside a compatible motorised table. The successful supplier was Hanson Instruments Limited, which is identified as an SME, showing that a smaller specialist supplier secured this equipment contract. Relevant capability is therefore likely to centre on supplying specialist eye-care equipment and the associated table as a coordinated package. The procurement route was described as below threshold, so suppliers should be equipped to respond to a buyer’s below-threshold purchasing process.
