UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust commissioned an AI-enabled skin analysis service for West Suffolk Hospital. The work is a clinical dermatology service, intended to support the hospital’s skin-care activity. The awarded service is associated with dermatology services (CPV 85121282). The procurement comprises one lot and relates to delivery at West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds. Skin Analytic Ltd was selected to provide the service. The requirement is specific to clinical skin analysis for this NHS trust, rather than a general AI or software supply; relevant suppliers would need to offer a service suited to hospital dermatology use and clinical support.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Skin Analytic Ltd was awarded the single lot. The contract was signed on 30 June 2026 and runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £50,000 including VAT. The award is for dermatology services, with no separate lot awards to report. This outcome records the supplier chosen and the commercial scale and duration of the arrangement. The buying organisation is West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, and the contract covers its AI skin analysis service at West Suffolk Hospital.

For suppliers tracking future demand from West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, this award shows that the trust has purchased an AI-based skin analysis service for hospital clinical support. A credible competitor would need to combine dermatology capability with an AI service that can be used in a hospital setting and support the trust’s skin-care activity. The selected supplier, Skin Analytic Ltd, indicates the type of specialist provider that has delivered this requirement. The purchase was made by direct award without competition, so it does not demonstrate how the trust would evaluate competing proposals in a future procurement. Suppliers should focus on a demonstrable fit with clinical dermatology and the practical delivery of AI-supported skin analysis for West Suffolk Hospital.
