UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust bought Menumark Satellite services for its community and mental health sites. The requirement is described as system quality assurance planning services, supporting use of the Menumark Satellite system across those sites. The buying organisation is Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, based in Taunton. Delivery is recorded in Somerset, in the South West of England. This is a service contract rather than a purchase of physical goods or construction work. The scope is specifically associated with Menumark Satellite; the procurement does not describe a wider technology programme or other clinical systems. The contracted supplier is Datasym (U.K.) Limited, a Fareham-based small or medium-sized enterprise.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Datasym (U.K.) Limited. Somerset NHS Foundation Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 23 September 2026 and runs from 1 November 2026 to 30 October 2027. Its value is £23,630 excluding VAT, or £28,356 including VAT. The procurement was arranged as one lot, covering the Menumark Satellite requirement for community and mental health sites. No separate award or contract values are reported. The published outcome identifies system quality assurance planning services as the awarded category, but does not state a scored evaluation basis or selection criteria for the direct award.

This award shows demand from Somerset NHS Foundation Trust for Menumark Satellite services supporting community and mental health sites, specifically including system quality assurance planning. A supplier seeking to compete for a comparable future requirement would need credible capability to support the Menumark Satellite system and deliver assurance planning in a healthcare setting spanning community and mental health services. The contract was awarded through a below-threshold direct route without competition, so the outcome does not demonstrate a competitive evaluation model or disclose detailed technical, accreditation or staffing requirements. Datasym, the selected supplier, is a small or medium-sized business, showing that delivery was within the reach of an SME. Suppliers with relevant system expertise and the capacity to support the Trust’s service scope would be best placed to establish credibility for this buyer’s requirement.
