## Summary

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust has completed the procurement process for a replacement Faxitron Trident machine needed for its theatre operations. The procurement is categorised under radiography devices and operates within the healthcare industry. Taking place in the South West of the United Kingdom, the contract was awarded to Hologic LTD on 2nd March 2026, with a total value of £69,960. The trust utilised a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement for this tender, aligning with its structured approach to facilitate easy purchasing. The procurement entered the award stage on 5th March 2026, with the contract period spanning from 5th March 2026 to 4th March 2027.

This tender represents a strategic opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare goods, particularly those in the radiography and medical imaging sectors. Although the contract has been awarded, businesses within this vertical may consider demonstrating capability in delivering such specialised equipment to similar entities like NHS trusts. The selective procurement method implies potential future opportunities for pre-approved suppliers on framework agreements, suggesting both large and small businesses with the right credentials or framework membership could benefit from similar procurements. As the NHS continually invests in technological upgrades, maintaining readiness for selective frameworks can leverage growth opportunities in healthcare supply markets.
