## Summary

The NHS Somerset Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for Somerset NHS Foundation Trust's acute, community, and mental health services. This directly awarded contract follows the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 and falls under the 'services' industry category specifically for health services. Located in the UKK23 region, the contract involves several associated commissioners, including NHS Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire ICB, among others. The contract is valued at £821,982,802 and covers the period from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. It represents an award stage as per the most recent update on 20 November 2025.

This tender offers limited opportunities for new businesses due to its direct award to the existing provider, Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, which is a key partner in the Somerset Integrated Care System. However, it underscores the significant financial commitment and scale involved in delivering comprehensive health services. Businesses that provide subcontracting, support services, or innovative healthcare solutions may find opportunities to partner or collaborate within the NHS landscape, especially given the comprehensive nature of services provided, ranging from acute care to mental health crisis intervention and community health services.

## Notice

The NHS Somerset ICB as Lead Commissioner is directly awarding a contract to the existing provider Somerset NHS Foundation Trust in accordance with the criteria outlined in Regulation 6(3) and 7 Direct Award Process A of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. Somerset NHS Foundation Trusts provides acute, community and mental health services across Somerset. As the main NHS Provider in the Somerset Integrated Care System (ICS), Somerset NHS Foundation Trust is a key system partner within Somerset ICS and is the only partner providing acute services across all ages of patients within the ICS footprint, including provision of Levels 1 and 2 urgent and emergency services and associated emergency inpatient services, together with other essential secondary care services such as surgical and medical specialties (elective and non-elective), Diagnostic, screening and/or Pathology services, and Cancer and/or Radiotherapy Services. Within the core contract, Somerset NHS Foundation Trust provides a wide range of community-based health services to the people of Somerset. It also provides both adult and children's mental health crisis services, among others, within the core contract. Some of the community mental health services provided are interdependent with other services provided by Somerset NHS Foundation Trust due to the need for cross-specialty and cross-service working.
